Abstract
We calculate the amplitude of the large‐wave vector scattering structure function S(q) of a long random coil in a good solvent, using field theory renormalization and expanding to first order in ϵ≡4‐ (dimension of space). This amplitude is some 35% smaller than that of a swollen Gaussian chain. This is consistent with nonrenormalization group theories and with experimentKeywords
