It is shown that the cross section of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) on an anisotropic system of point scatterers is determined by a symmetric tensor (R). The mean square radius of gyration of the system is the trace of R. A simple method is proposed for experimental determination of the tensor R by small-angle measurements with rotation of a sample.
