Detailed Description

Pure virtual base class for Born form factors.

In contrast to the generic IFormFactor, a Born form factor does not depend on the incoming and outgoing wave vectors ki and kf, except through their difference, the scattering vector q=ki-kf.

◆ evaluate_for_q()

virtual complex_t IFormFactorBorn::evaluate_for_q ( cvector_t  q) const
pure virtual

◆ evaluate_for_q_pol()

Eigen::Matrix2cd IFormFactorBorn::evaluate_for_q_pol ( cvector_t  q) const
protectedvirtual

Returns scattering amplitude for complex scattering wavevector q=k_i-k_f in case of matrix interactions.

Default implementation calls evaluate_for_q(q) and multiplies with the unit matrix.

Member Data Documentation

◆ mP_shape

std::unique_ptr<IShape> IFormFactorBorn::mP_shape
protected

IShape object, used to retrieve vertices (which may be approximate in the case of round shapes).

For soft particles, this will be a hard mean shape.
