Rutherford Scattering
A great deal of what is known about the atomic nucleus has been deduced from the analysis of scattering experiments done with charged particles and neutrons. The first such experiments were performed with alpha particles from naturally radioactive substances, the counting of the scattered particles being done by visual observation of the scintillations (faint flashes of light) from a zinc sulfi...
متن کاملRutherford Scattering with Retardation
Numerical solutions for Sommerfeld model in nonrelativistic case are presented for the scattering of a spinless extended charged body in a static Coulomb field of a fixed point charge. It is shown that differential cross section for extended body preserves the form of the Rutherford result with multiplier, not equal to one (as in classical case), but depending on the size of Sommerfeld particle...
متن کاملRutherford Scattering of α-Particles
The scattering of α-particles off of gold foil was investigated. Attenuation of the α-particle beam was used to measure the thickness of the gold foil used. The coefficient of the Rutherford differential scattering cross section was experimentally determined to be (7.81 ± 5.35) × 10−25cm2, compared to 1.76 × 10−24cm2, with a reduced chi-squared of 3.4, which is a reasonable fit and confirms the...
متن کاملRutherford Scattering with Radiation Damping
We study the effect of radiation damping on the classical scattering of charged particles. Using a perturbation method based on the Runge-Lenz vector, we calculate radiative corrections to the Rutherford cross section, and the corresponding energy and angular momentum losses.
متن کاملPhotothermal single particle Rutherford scattering microscopy.
We demonstrate that the quantum-mechanical description of Rutherford scattering has a photonic counterpart in a new form of single particle photothermal microscopy. Using a split detector we provide experimental evidence that photons are deflected by a photothermal potential that is created by a local refractive index change around a heated nanoparticle. The deflection experienced is shown to b...
