	Scattering Cross Section
		The concept of cross section, as its name suggests, is that of effective area for collision.
		The units of cross section are then area units, but for nuclear scattering the effective area is on the order of the cross sectional area of a nucleus.
		The cross section in barns for alpha scattering above a selected angle is a standard part of the analysis of Rutherford scattering.

		The answer is yes, for example, in the case of a trivial vector bundle, but in general it depends on the topology of the spaces involved.

	Cross section (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In geometry a cross section is the intersection of a body in 3-dimensional space a plane or of a body in space with a line etc. More plainly cutting an object into slices one gets parallel cross sections.
		A cross section is a common method depicting the internal arrangement of a 3-dimensional in two dimensions.
		Thus for slow neutrons by the (n gamma) reaction the cross in some cases is as much as 000 barns while the cross sections for by gamma-ray absorption are in the neighborhood 0.001 barns.

	Oilfield Glossary: Term 'cross section'
		Cross sections are useful for displaying the types and orientations of subsurface structures and formations.
		The macroscopic cross section, which is the product of the microscopic cross section and the number of particles per unit volume, has units of inverse length.
		Cross sections for most reactions are determined experimentally and depend on the type of interaction, the material and the energy of the incident particle.

		In the physical sciences, the term cross section is used to describe a slice perpendicular to an axis of an object.
		For a solid whose cross sections are the same shape and size, the volume of the solid is computed as the product of the area of the cross section times the height of the object.
		The volume of a general cylinder is the area of the cross section S that is translated times the distance through which the cross section is translated.

	crosssection
		The concept of cross section is the crucial key that opens the communication between the real world of experiment and the abstract, idealized world of theoretical models.
		The cross section is the probability that an interaction will occur between a projectile particle-say, a proton that has been accelerated in the Tevatron-and a target particle, which could be an antiproton, or perhaps a proton or neutron in a piece of metal foil.
		The cross section for large-angle scattering is the fraction of alpha particles that bounce back from the target, divided by the density of nuclei in the target and the target thickness.

	Cross
		The microscopic cross section may also be regarded as the effective area the nucleus presents to the neutron for the particular reaction.
		The macroscopic cross section is the probability of a given reaction occurring per unit travel of the neutron.
		This region is frequently referred to as the "1/v region," because the absorption cross section is proportional to 1/v, which is the reciprocal of neutron velocity.

	§ 14. cross section. 2. Style. The American Heritage Book of English Usage. 1996
		Informally, we speak of a cross section of a population even if the group chosen is not statistically representative of the population as a whole.
		Thus you might say You meet a cross section of Americans when you travel by interstate bus, even though it is clear that some types of Americans are likely to be underrepresented among the people who ride interstate buses.
		When cross section is used in reference to the samples used in surveys and other investigations, the presumption is usually that the group has been chosen so as to be representative of the larger population, and here you must be more careful.

		In geometry, a cross section is the intersection of a body in 3-dimensional space with aplane, or of a body in 2-dimensional space with a line, etc. More plainly, when cutting an object into slices one gets manyparallel cross sections.
		In nuclear physics, it is found convenient to express probabilityof a particular event by a cross section.
		Thus for slow neutrons absorbed by the (n,gamma) reaction the cross section in some cases is as much as 1,000 barns, while the cross sections for transmutations bygamma-ray absorption are in the neighborhood of 0.001 barns.

		The cross section is conceptually the area a nucleus presents to a target, having units of length squared.
		The cross section (sigma) is usually referred to as a microscopic cross section as it is independent of material properties.
		The macroscopic cross section (capital sigma or sometimes mu) is the product of the number density A (units of m^-3) and the microscopic cross section (units of m^2) giving units of inverse length (m^-1).

	Definition: radar cross section (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		radar cross section: An expression of the extent to which an object, i.e., a target, reflects radar pulses, usually with respect to their point of origin.
		Note: The radar cross section of an aircraft can vary by a factor of over 100, depending on the aspect angle of the aircraft to the radar transmitter.
		Radar reflection off the nose of the aircraft usually represents the smallest radar cross section, while a broadside presentation to the signal produces the greatest cross section.

	Absorption Cross Section
		The numerical value of the cross section depends upon the properties of the interacting projectile and target, the strength of the forces they can exert on each other, and the velocity of the projectile (wavelength if the particle is a photon).
		The cross section will, in turn, depend upon the wavelength of the photons, perhaps upon their polarization, and upon the kind and state of the target atom or molecule.
		The cross section you have determined is the cross section for absorbing light of wavelength 632.8 nm by copper ions dissolved in water.

		But Taylor's claim is that he was constitutionally entitled to a jury drawn from a venire constituting a fair cross section of the community and that the jury that tried him was not such a jury by reason of the exclusion of women.
		The Sixth Amendment requirement of a fair cross section on the venire is a means of assuring, not a representative jury (which the Constitution does not demand), but an impartial one (which it does).
		If the goal of the Sixth Amendment is representation of a fair cross section of the community on the petit jury, then intentionally using peremptory challenges to exclude any identifiable group should be impermissible - which would, as we said in Lockhart, "likely require the elimination of peremptory challenges." 476 U.S., at 178.
