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

Page 9: v  D t

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

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
