This model describes a Lorentzian shaped peak on a flat background.

Definition

The scattering intensity \(I(q)\) is calculated as

\[I(q) = \frac{scale}{\bigl(1+\bigl(\frac{q-q_0}{B}\bigr)^2\bigr)} + background\]

with the peak having height of \(I_0\) centered at \(q_0\) and having a HWHM (half-width half-maximum) of B.

For 2D data the scattering intensity is calculated in the same way as 1D, where the \(q\) vector is defined as

\[q = \sqrt{q_x^2 + q_y^2}\]
