26. 0(q) without this correction may lead to incorrect conclusions.
27. 0(q). The experimental scattering intensity, however, exhibits only a weak side maximum (see Figure 3). Moreover, this demonstrates that G4-M does not have radial symmetry, and models that assume distributions with central symmetry can not be applied.
