Cross section of elastic scattering

When the energy of the electron is below 10 eV, the most probable process is elastic scattering. The cross sections of elastic scattering are usually much greater than those of inelastic processes (except for the resonance ones) and range from 10 15 to 10 14cm2. 

Because the cross-sections for nuclear reaction are usually lower than the cross-sections for elastic scattering of projectiles used in RBS or in elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA), higher currents must be used to obtain comparably high intensity in...

We have evaluated the cross sections for the most important collisional processes in the H — H scattering, notably the cross sections for elastic scattering (leading to antihydrogen cooling), and for various inelastic processes (leading to the loss of antihydrogen). 

Differential cross sections for elastic scattering of electrons from THF have been determined together with vibrational and electronic energy loss spectra. Band assignments were verified by Cl calculations <2005MI411>. 

Only single excitation of either one or both of the colliding atoms has been found. No specific states could be resolved. No doubly excited He-atoms were observed. At x = 6200 eV deg the cross sections for elastic scattering, for single and double excitation have about the same size. Excitation mechanisms, based on the MO model, were proposed in order to explain the observed processes. They have been discussed before in Section IV.A in connection with the total cross section measurements for the same system. 

A major obstacle to accurate numerical modeling of plasma chemistry has been the lack of reliable electron collision cross-section data. Electron collisions drive the entire processing plasma chemistry and, hence, are among the most important and critical processes that we need to consider. In addition to cross sections for elastic scattering and momentum transfer, to which the electrical and thermal conductivities are directly related, it is necessary to consider all important... 

Fig. 1. Integral cross sections for elastic scattering of electrons by N2O. Short dashes, R-matrix calculation of Sarpal et al. (1996a, 1996b) long dashes, /1-matrix calculation of Morgan et al. (1997) solid line, SMC calculation of Winstead and McKoy (1998) squares, measurements of Johnstone and Newell (1993). The total scattering cross section measured by Szmytkowski etal. (1984) is also shown for comparison (crosses).

The differential cross section for elastic scattering of 8 MeV deuterons by Be was obtained by El-Bedewi [40] it shows, in addition to the rise at small angles, a subsidiary peak at 64° in the centre-of-mass system. 

Each process is proportional to the products of the Fj values for the initial and final channels. The factor t in (3-16) is the famous [ jv) factor in capture. The maximum peak cross section for elastic scattering is 47tZ gclgA)> which occurs if 7 4 = To. The maximum total cross section for all incoherent (i.e. B A) processes combined is obtained when Fa=F—Fa=FI2 to give nZiScliA)- Tor...
