10.2 SCATTERING CROSS SECTIONS AND RUTHERFORD SCATTERING
Most scattering events of signicance involve motion in three dimensions, and this adds consider-
ably to the complexity of the analysis. A typical experimental arrangement is shown schematically
in Figure 10.3. A collimated beam of particles of mass m

is incident upon a xed scattering target
of mass m

. During scattering, the interaction is sampled over a wide range of dista ...
