==Experimental==

It is possible to measure g(r) experimentaly with [[neutron scattering]] or [[x-ray scattering]] diffraction data. In such an experiment, a sample is bombarded with neutrons or x-ray which then diffract to all directions. The average molecular density at each distance can be extracted in according to ??? law: r=wavelength/sin(scattered angle), where r is the distance the neutron traveled before diffracting.<br />

AnFor an example of RDF experiment see <ref>''Eigen versus Zundel complexes in HCl-water mixtures.'' Botti, Bruni, Ricci and Soper [[J. Chem. Phys]]; '''2006 125'''; 14508; [http://scitation.aip.org/getabs/servlet/GetabsServlet?prog=normal&id=JCPSA6000125000001014508000001&idtype=cvips&gifs=yes Eigen vs. Zundel structures in HCl solution, 2006]</ref>
