Clearly neither of the predictions above gives a statistically good fit—the
χ2 deducible for either is an order of magnitude greater than the expected value of 17. This is hardly surprising considering the extreme nature of the two cases, and the possibility of subtler effects also being present. The model does show that particles play an important role in the variation of
σm.

This table lists x-ray beam intensities and widths. The typical values given are for the present experiment with the following values for the parameters concerned: |

The transparent particle intensity formula requires cgs units.
The opaque particle formulas assume the diffracted intensity distribution is similar in form to the scattered distribution from transparent particles.
