The cross section within the small angle approximation for particles in a solution reads
<math>\frac
\equiv n \Delta \rho^2 V_p^2 \left| S(\mathbf
)\right|^2 P(\mathbf
)</math>
where the particle density is given by
<math>n = \frac
</math>
The scattering length density contrast between the particles and the solvent reads
<math> \Delta \rho(\mathbf
) = \rho_b(\mathbf
) - \rho_s </math>
The particle form factor reads
<math> P(\mathbf
) = \left| \frac
\int dV e^{-i \mathbf
\cdot \mathbf{r}} \right|^2</math>
