# 📡 SAXS Synthetic Scattering Curves Dataset

> **Thousands of physically accurate Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) curves, generated from rigorous physical models.**

---

## 🔬 What is this dataset?

This dataset provides synthetic **SAXS intensity curves I(q)** generated using validated physical scattering models (via [SASmodels](https://github.com/SasView/sasmodels)), covering a wide range of nanoparticle shapes, materials, sizes, and concentrations.

Each curve is **fully labelled** with its physical parameters, making it immediately usable for:
- Training ML models to **predict nanoparticle parameters from experimental curves**
- **Benchmarking** fitting algorithms
- **Data augmentation** for experimental datasets
- Developing **automated analysis pipelines**

## 🚀 Ploting function exemple

```python
import h5py
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def plotSaxs(h5_path, index_to_plot=0):
with h5py.File(h5_path, 'r') as f:
# Extract Data
q = f.attrs['q']
intensities = f['intensities'][index_to_plot]
material = f.attrs.get('material', 'Unknown').upper()
shape = f.attrs.get('shape', 'Unknown').capitalize()

# Extract specific metadata for the legend
params_str = ""
for k in f.keys():
if k == 'intensities':
continue
val = f[k][index_to_plot]
params_str += f"{k}: {val:.2f} | "

# Plotting Setup
plt.rcParams.update({
'font.size': 12,
'axes.labelsize': 14,
'xtick.labelsize': 12,
'ytick.labelsize': 12,
'legend.fontsize': 10,
'lines.linewidth': 2,
'figure.dpi': 200
})

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(9, 5))

# main curve
ax.loglog(q, intensities, color='#1f77b4', label=f"{material} {shape}")

ax.set_xlabel(r'Scattering Vector $q$ ($\mathring{A}^{-1}$)')
ax.set_ylabel(r'Intensity $I(q)$ ($cm^{-1}$)')
ax.set_title(f'Simulated SAXS Profile: {material} {shape}', pad=15)

# Styling the Grid and Spines
ax.grid(True, which="both", ls="-", alpha=0.2)
ax.spines['top'].set_visible(False)
ax.spines['right'].set_visible(False)

# Adding metadata info as a text box or legend
props = dict(boxstyle='round', facecolor='white', alpha=0.5)
ax.text(0.05, 0.05, params_str.rstrip(' | '), transform=ax.transAxes,
fontsize=9, verticalalignment='bottom', bbox=props)

ax.legend(frameon=False)

plt.tight_layout()

# Save as PDF or TIFF
save_path = h5_path.replace('.h5', '.tiff')
plt.savefig(save_path)
print(f"Plot saved to: {save_path}")
plt.show()
```
