Lorentz (Ornstein-Zernicke Model)

Definition

The Ornstein-Zernicke model is defined by

\[I(q)=\frac{\text{scale}}{1+(qL)^2}+\text{background}\]

The parameter \(L\) is the screening length cor_length.

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

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