nuclear elastic scattering
1Scattering — is a general physical process where some forms of radiation, such as light, sound, or moving particles, are forced to deviate from a straight trajectory by one or more localized non uniformities in the medium through which they pass. In… …
2Nuclear cross section — The nuclear cross section of a nucleus is used to characterize the probability that a nuclear reaction will occur. The concept of a nuclear cross section can be quantified physically in terms of characteristic area where a larger area means a… …
3Nuclear force — This article is about the force that holds nucleons together in a nucleus. For the force that holds quarks together in a nucleon, see Strong interaction. A Feynman diagram of a strong proton neutron interaction mediated by a neutral pion. Time… …
4elastic collision — noun : a collision in which the total kinetic energy of the colliding pair remains unchanged and the total momentum is conserved although usually reapportioned between them * * * Mech. a collision in which the total kinetic energy of the… …
5Elastic recoil detection — is a nuclear technique in materials science to obtain elemental concentration depth profiles in thin films. An energetic ion beam is directed at the sample to be depth profiled and (as in Rutherford backscattering) there is an elastic nuclear… …
6Nuclear reaction — In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, a nuclear reaction is semantically considered to be the process in which two nuclei, or else a nucleus of an atom and a subatomic particle (such as a proton, or high energy electron) from outside the atom …
7Scattering theory — Top: the real part of a plane wave travelling upwards. Bottom: The real part of the field after inserting in the path of the plane wave a small transparent disk of index of refraction higher than the index of the surrounding medium. This object… …
8Nuclear structure — Physics portal This page is an adapted translation of the corresponding fr:Structure nucléaire As will be noted, there remain void paragraphs, as on the original (which provides no sources). Competent Wikipedians are welcom …

10Delbruck scattering — Delbrück scattering, the deflection of high energy photons in the Coulomb field of nuclei as a consequence of vacuum polarization has been observed. However, the process of scattering of light by light, has not been observed.[1] In both cases, it …
