63. The relative intensities of the primary and second-order peaks expected from M50b can be estimated by SCFT calculations, as described in ref 34. These calculations indicate that the expected scattering intensities from the primary and secondary peaks in M50 would be lower than those obtained from the sample studied in ref 34 by multiplicative factors of 0.13 and 0.30, respectively. It is thus not entirely surprising that the SANS profiles obtained from M50b were devoid of peaks.
