(a) Simulated SAXS 1D profiles I(qi) (black curve) affected by an overlapped background intensity Ibk(qi) (green curve), by the finite-size convolution effects, i.e., I(qi) = Icon(qi) + Ibk(qi) and by noise n(qi) (see main text). The red curve is the ideal intensity Iid(qi) that should be extracted by I(qi) by deconvolving the finite source size effects and subtracting the background intensity. The blue curve is the deconvolved Idec(qi) profile which is obtained by means of the new proposed algorithm. We have V = 55%; ε = 2.5%; R = 0.18; (b) Same notation as in Figure 5a. We have V = 23%; ε = 8.3%; R = 0.26.
