What is a Cross Section?What is a Cross Section?
diferential cross section: ddiferential cross section: dσ/dΩ:σ/dΩ: - - probability of a scattered particle in a given quantum probability of a scattered particle in a given quantum state per solid angle dΩ state per solid angle dΩ - e.g. Rutherford scattering - e.g. Rutherford scattering experimentexperiment
integrated cross section: σ= ∫ integrated cross section: σ= ∫ ddσ/dΩ dΩσ/dΩ dΩ
