Its conservation is a universal phenomenon independent of the nature of the reference frame that allows calculation of energy values of the system under different conditions. In relativistic domain also it holds good. Rate of change ...

... thus its intensity (per unit area) must decrease like r-2 and its amplitude must decrease like r-1. 2. Along the surface of any spherical scattered wave front, the diffraction is responsible for the variation in intensity of the radiation. The intensity thus depends on angular coordinates θ and φ. 3 ...

... This parameter is similar to the well-known phase shift parameter ρ = 2kR|m − 1| [4,5] but does a better job in describing the evolution of the scattering away from the diffraction limit, where ρ0 = ρ = 0, and acting as a quasi-universal parameter for the scattering, as will be demonstrated below.

Really, the particles are to be thought of as wave packets which are made of a superposition of waves with wave vectors taking values in (k − ∆k, k + ∆k); the particles are then localized. This does not materially affect the ...

... to form the two Bragg beams [4, 12]. The beams were sent through two acousto-optical modulators driven at 80 MHz, but with a frequency difference corresponding to a recoil energy q 2 /2m, of around 100 kHz when q = 2hk. The laser beams were overlapped in a counterpropagating configuration, oriented ...

Cross section (physics)



The cross section is an effective area that quantifies the intrinsic likelihood of a scattering event when an incident beam strikes a target object, made of discrete particles. The cross section of a particle is the same as the cross section of a hard object, if the probabilities of hitting them with a ray are the same. It is typically denoted σ and measured in units of area.In scattering experiments, one is often interested in knowing how likely a given event occurs. However, the rate depends strongly on experimental variables such as the density of the target material, the intensity of the beam, or the area of overlap between the beam and the target material. To control for these mundane differences, one can factor out these variables, resulting in an area-like quantity known as the cross section.
