Improvements and considerations for size distribution retrieval from small-angle scattering data by Monte Carlo methods

A method is presented and applied, capable of retrieving form-free particle size distributions complete with uncertainties from small-angle scattering patterns. Special attention is paid to particle observability in the scattering patterns, accurate estimation of data uncertainty and the effect of uncertainty on the resulting size distribution statistics.
