This Debye Gaussian coil model strictly describes the scattering from
*monodisperse* polymer chains in theta solvents or polymer melts, conditions
under which the distances between segments follow a Gaussian distribution.
Provided the number of segments is large (ie, high molecular weight polymers)
the single-chain form factor P(Q) is that described by Debye (1947).

To describe the scattering from *polydisperse* polymer chains see the
:ref:`poly-gauss-coil` model.

Definition
----------

.. math::

     I(q) = \text{scale} \cdot I_0 \cdot P(q) + \text{background}

where

.. math::

     I_0 &= \phi_\text{poly} \cdot V
            \cdot (\rho_\text{poly} - \rho_\text{solv})^2 \\
     P(q) &= 2 [\exp(-Z) + Z - 1] / Z^2 \\
     Z &= (q R_g)^2 \\
     V &= M / (N_A \delta)

Here, $\phi_\text{poly}$ is the volume fraction of polymer, $V$ is the
volume of a polymer coil, *M* is the molecular weight of the polymer,
$N_A$ is Avogadro's Number, $\delta$ is the bulk density of the polymer,
$\rho_\text{poly}$ is the sld of the polymer, $\rho\text{solv}$ is the
sld of the solvent, and $R_g$ is the radius of gyration of the polymer coil.

The 2D scattering intensity is calculated in the same way as the 1D,
but where the *q* vector is redefined as

.. math::

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