About: Momentum-transfer cross section

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In physics, and especially scattering theory, the momentum-transfer cross section (sometimes known as the momentum-transport cross section) is an effective scattering cross section useful for describing the average momentum transferred from a particle when it collides with a target. Essentially, it contains all the information about a scattering process necessary for calculating average momentum transfers but ignores other details about the scattering angle. The momentum-transfer cross section can be written in terms of the phase shifts from a partial wave analysis as

  • In physics, and especially scattering theory, the momentum-transfer cross section (sometimes known as the momentum-transport cross section) is an effective scattering cross section useful for describing the average momentum transferred from a particle when it collides with a target. Essentially, it contains all the information about a scattering process necessary for calculating average momentum transfers but ignores other details about the scattering angle. The momentum-transfer cross section is defined in terms of an (azimuthally symmetric and momentum independent) differential cross section by The momentum-transfer cross section can be written in terms of the phase shifts from a partial wave analysis as (en)
