+    Notes
+    -----
+    The Non-linear Alignments Model (NLA) describes an effective
+    convergence :math:`\kappa_{\rm IA}` that models the effect of
+    intrinsic alignments.  It is computed from the matter density
+    contrast :math:`\delta` as [1] [3]
+
+    .. math::
+
+        \kappa_{\rm IA} = f_{\rm NLA} \, \delta \;,
+
+    where the NLA factor :math:`f_{\rm NLA}` is defined as [4] [5]
+
+    .. math::
+
+        f_{\rm{NLA}}
+        = -A_{\rm IA} \, \frac{C_1 \, \bar{\rho}(z)}{D(z)} \,
+            \biggl(\frac{1+z}{1+z_0}\biggr)^\eta \,
+            \biggl(\frac{\bar{L}}{L_0}\biggr)^\beta \;,
+
+    with
+
+    * :math:`A_{\rm IA}` the intrinsic alignments amplitude,
+    * :math:`C_1` a normalisation constant [2],
+    * :math:`z` the effective redshift of the model,
+    * :math:`\bar{\rho}` the mean matter density,
+    * :math:`D` the growth factor,
+    * :math:`\eta` the power that describes the redshift-dependence with
+      respect to :math:`z_0`,
+    * :math:`\bar{L}` the mean luminosity of the galaxy sample, and
+    * :math:`\beta` the power that describes the luminosity-dependence
+      :math:`\bar{L}` with respect to :math:`L_0`.
