Answer:

Impact parameter b and scattering angle θ.

The impact parameter {\displaystyle b} b is defined as the perpendicular distance between the path of a projectile and the center of a potential field {\displaystyle U(r)} U(r) created by an object that the projectile is approaching (see diagram). It is often referred to in nuclear physics
