This fitting function models the elastic part of the dynamic structure factor for a particle undergoing continuous and isotropic rotational diffusion [1], IsoRotDiff.
where:
Because of the spherical symmetry of the problem, the structure factor is expressed in terms of the spherical Bessel functions.

Example - Global fit to a synthetic elastic signal:
The signal is modeled by the convolution of a resolution function with the elastic component of a rotator. The resolution is modeled as a normal distribution. We insert a random noise in the rotator. Finally, we choose a linear background noise. The goal is to find out the radius of the rotator and the overal intensity of the signal with a fit to the following model:
import numpy as np
from scipy.special import sph_jn
"""Generate resolution function with the following properties:
1. Normal distribution along the energy axis, same for all Q-values
