SAXS. Form-factors. Capped cylinder (SasView-aligned)¶
A right circular cylinder with spherical end caps whose centres lie inside the cylinder body (cap radius $R \geq$ cylinder radius $r$, protrusion $h = -\sqrt{R^2 - r^2} < 0$). This is the mirror geometry of the barbell.

Form-factor (SasView capped_cylinder.c)¶
Identical amplitude to barbell but $h = -\sqrt{R^2 - r^2}$ (cap centre inside cylinder):

$$A_{\mathrm{cap}} = 2\pi R^3\int_{-h/R}^{1}\cos\!\left[q_\parallel\left(Rt+h+\tfrac{L}{2}\right)\right](1-t^2)\frac{2J_1\!\left(R\,q_\perp\sqrt{1-t^2}\right)}{R\,q_\perp\sqrt{1-t^2}}\,dt$$
