+Definition
+----------
+
+Calculates the scattering from a tetrapod-shaped structure. A tetrapod consists
+of four cylindrical arms radiating from a central point, oriented along the
+(1,1,1), (-1,-1,1), (-1,1,-1), and (1,-1,-1) directions.
+
+The scattering intensity is calculated as:
+
+.. math::
+
+    I(q) = (\Delta \rho)^2 \left[ 4 I_{\text{arm}}(q) + 6 I_{\text{corr}}(q) \right]
+
+where $\Delta\rho$ is the scattering length density contrast between the
+tetrapod and the solvent.
+
+The arm scattering $I_{\text{arm}}(q)$ is obtained by integrating over all
+orientations of each cylindrical arm:
+
+.. math::
+
+    I_{\text{arm}}(q) = \int_0^{\pi/4} F_{\text{cylinder}}(q, \theta, L, R)^2 \sin(\theta) d\theta
+
+where $F_{\text{cylinder}}$ is the form factor of a cylinder.
+
+The correlation term $I_{\text{corr}}(q)$ accounts for coherent scattering
+between different arms.
+
+Geometry
+--------
+
+The four arms are positioned along the following directions:
+- Arm 1: (1, 1, 1)
+- Arm 2: (-1, -1, 1)
+- Arm 3: (-1, 1, -1)
+- Arm 4: (1, -1, -1)
+
+Each arm has length $L$ and radius $R$.
