NAME

gmx-sans - Compute small angle neutron scattering spectra

SYNOPSIS

gmx sans [-s [<.tpr>]] [-f [<.xtc/.trr/...>]] [-n [<.ndx>]]
         [-d [<.dat>]] [-pr [<.xvg>]] [-sq [<.xvg>]]
         [-prframe [<.xvg>]] [-sqframe [<.xvg>]] [-b <time>]
         [-e <time>] [-dt <time>] [-tu <enum>] [-xvg <enum>]
         [-bin <real>] [-mode <enum>] [-mcover <real>]
         [-method <enum>] [-[no]pbc] [-grid <real>] [-startq <real>]
         [-endq <real>] [-qstep <real>] [-seed <int>]

DESCRIPTION

gmx sans computes SANS spectra using Debye formula. It currently uses topology file (since it need to assigne element for each atom).

Parameters:

-pr Computes normalized g(r) function averaged over trajectory

-prframe Computes normalized g(r) function for each frame

-sq Computes SANS intensity curve averaged over trajectory

-sqframe Computes SANS intensity curve for each frame

-startq Starting q value in nm

-endq Ending q value in nm

-qstep Stepping in q space

Note: When using Debye direct method computational cost increases as 1/2 * N * (N - 1) where N is atom number in group of interest.

WARNING: If sq or pr specified this tool can produce large number of files! Up to two times larger than number of frames!
