  2. Cross section (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_section_(physics)

    The differential angular range of the scattered particle at angle θ is the solid angle element dΩ = sin θ dθ dφ. The differential cross section is the quotient of these quantities, ⁠ dσ / dΩ ⁠. It is a function of the scattering angle (and therefore also the impact parameter), plus other observables such as the momentum of the ...

  4. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    Then the angle of the rotation is the angle between v and Rv. A more direct method, however, is to simply calculate the trace : the sum of the diagonal elements of the rotation matrix. Care should be taken to select the right sign for the angle θ to match the chosen axis:

  5. Bistatic radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bistatic_radar

    When it is exactly zero the radar is a monostatic radar, when it is close to zero the radar is pseudo-monostatic, and when it is close to 180 degrees the radar is a forward scatter radar. Elsewhere, the radar is simply described as a bistatic radar. The bistatic angle is an important factor in determining the radar cross section of the target.

  6. Radar cross section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_cross_section

    the incident angle (angle at which the radar beam hits a particular portion of the target, which depends upon the shape of the target and its orientation to the radar source); the reflected angle (angle at which the reflected beam leaves the part of the target hit; it depends upon incident angle);

  7. Bragg's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bragg's_law

    where m is the Bragg order (a positive integer), λ B the diffracted wavelength, Λ the fringe spacing of the grating, θ the angle between the incident beam and the normal (N) of the entrance surface and φ the angle between the normal and the grating vector (K G). Radiation that does not match Bragg's law will pass through the VBG undiffracted.

  8. Klein–Nishina formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein–Nishina_formula

    The formula describes both the Thomson scattering of low energy photons (e.g. visible light) and the Compton scattering of high energy photons (e.g. x-rays and gamma-rays), showing that the total cross section and expected deflection angle decrease with increasing photon energy.

  9. Structure factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_factor

    Consider the scattering of a beam of wavelength by an assembly of particles or atoms stationary at positions , =, …,.Assume that the scattering is weak, so that the amplitude of the incident beam is constant throughout the sample volume (Born approximation), and absorption, refraction and multiple scattering can be neglected (kinematic diffraction).
