Question

Rutherfords differential scattering cross-section is proportional to
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The “differential cross-section”, dσ/dθ, with respect to the scattering angle is the number of scatterings between θ and θ + dθ per unit flux, per unit range of angle, i.e. dσ dθ = dN(θ) F dθ = π D2 4 cos(θ/2) sin3(θ/2) . dΩ = F dσ dΩ . ... Differential cross-sections have the dimension of an area.
