N = number density in beam (particles per unit volume)
N number of scattering centers in targetintercepted by beamspot
Solid angle d representsdetector counting the dN particles per unit time that
scatter through into d
FLUX = # of particles crossing through unit cross section per sec = Nv t A / t A = Nv
Notice: qNv we call current, I, measured in Coulombs.

In a solid•interatomic spacing: 15 Å (15 10-10 m)•nuclear radii: 1.5 5 f (1.55 10-15 m)
for some sense of spacing consider the ratio

A solid sheet of lead offers how much of a (cross sectional) physical target (and how much empty space) to a subatomic projectile?

Number density, n: number of individual atoms (or scattering centers!) per unit volume
n= NA / A where NA = Avogadro’s Number
A = atomic weight (g) = density (g/cc)
w
n= (11.3 g/cc)(6.021023/mole)/(207.2 g/mole)
= 3.28 1022/cm3

For a thin enough layer
n(Volume) (atomic cross section)= n(surface areaw)(r2)
as a fraction of the target’s area: = n(w)13cm)2
For 1 mm sheet of lead: 0.00257 1 cm sheet of lead: 0.0257
Actually a projectile “sees”
nw nuclei per unit area
but Znw electrons per unit area!
that general description of cross section
let’s augmented with the specific example of
Coulomb scattering

A beam of N incident particles strike a (thin foil) target.The beam spot (cross section of the beam) illuminates n scattering centers.
If dN counts the average number of particles scattered between and d

What about the ENERGY LOST in the collision?
•the recoiling target carries energy•some of the projectile’s energy was surrendered•if the target is heavy
•the recoil is small•the energy loss is insignificant
