Title: Message Alan, (i) but a sum of two Lorentzians is not sharper than the sum of two pVs (Voigts)? (ii) We fitted the exact size profile caused by the lognormal distribution by a pV (for low lognormal dispersion) or by a sum of maximum 3 Lorenzians (for large lognormal dispersion).

Bob, A nice math. description amenable to RR exists, take a look at JAC(2002) 35, 338-346. Nice because the size profile is described by a pV (at regular lognormal dispersions) or by a sum of maximum three Lorentzians (at large lognormal dispersions - those 3% that Alan spiked about). The

Dear Nicolae, I will comment only upon your last statement because the limitations of your modeling are clear. Well, I don't know where from you taken these formulae but I observe that for spheres of equal radius, then zero dispersion, you have: sigma(D)=5D/4, different from zero! First
