	Scattering Summary
		Scattering is a general physical process whereby some form of radiation, such as light, sound, or moving particles, is forced to deviate from a straight trajectory by one or more localized non-uniformities in the medium through which it passes.
		Light scattering can also give color to some objects, usually shades of blue (as with the sky, the human iris, and the feathers of some birds), but resonant light scattering in nanoparticles can produce different highly saturated and vibrant hues, especially when surface plasmon resonance is involved.
		In scattering experiments, a target of some material is bombarded with a beam of particles (typically electrons, protons, or neutrons) and the number of particles emerging in various directions is measured.

	Scattering (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		For scattering it is easiest if the projectile is a fundamental particle (so can be considered as a point without any structure, such as the electron) so that the effects of any size is not there to complicate results and we are only observing the target (say a proton).
		If the target has size then the scattering may still be an elastic process, however the formula for it will altered slightly, depending on the momentum imparted to the target particle (by a factor called the form factor).
		In inelastic scattering part of the kinetic energy of the incident particle is lost inside the target giving rise to some internal processes and only a fraction of it goes into moving the whole target.

	Scattering and Form Factors
		Consider the scattering of an electron by a nucleus, as discussed in the Nuclear Physics course in the determination of nuclear size.
		Instead we will return to the low energy elastic scattering case introduced above, which is dominated by the scattering amplitude.
		NOTE: The Fourier relationship between scattered amplitude and spatial distribution of the scatterer is general, e.g.

	Quasi-elastic Light Scattering
		By picking out a particular scattering wavevector, one can measure the intensity of scattered light (which corresponds to the susceptibility) and the autocorrelation function (which corresponds to the lifetime of the fluctuation) and observe both change as a function of temperature.
		In a liquid crystal experiment, the situation is complicated by the fact that the nematic and smectic phases are either uniaxial or biaxial, meaning that the incident and final momenta are determined by the direction of propagation and the polarization of the light.
		Thus, detecting the light with a crossed polarizer would permit only this depolarized component of light to pass, and all other scattering (from both the liquid crystal and artifacts in the oven) would be blocked from the detector.

	Definition of Elastic scattering
		In particle physics, elastic scattering is one of the specific forms of scattering.
		In this scattering process, the energy and the wavelength of the incident photon are conserved and the direction is changed.
		In this case, the scattering intensity is proportional to the fourth power of the reciprocal wavelength of the incident photon.

	Elastic scattering
		In a typical scattering experiment a target is struck by a beam of monoenergetic particles.
		We expect the scattered wave packet to be a superposition of outgoing stationary states.
		The scattering cross section is equal to the square of the scattering amplitude.

	Raman Scattering
		This scattering is responsible for the blue color of the sky; it increases with the fourth power of the frequency and is more effective at short wavelengths.
		For example, the scattering produced by a laser beam directed on the plume from an industrial smokestack can be used to monitor the effluent for levels of molecules which will produce recognizable Raman lines.
		Raman scattering produces scattered photons which differ in frequency from the radiation source which causes it, and the difference is related to vibrational and/or rotational properties of the molecules from which the scattering occurs.

	Electron scattering in solids (electronic archive of the Ioffe Institute) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Elastic scattering is represented by dependences of differential and total cross sections on incident electron energy for elements with atomic numbers from 1 to 103.
		Inelastic scattering is represented by dependences of inelastic interaction probabilities on incident electron energy and energy loss for solids of several compositions.
		Therefore, it is convenient to represent the inelastic scattering properties of solids on per-unit-length basis (instead of per-unit-atom basis in the case of elastic scattering).

	Scattering
		Scattering experiments were rare in physics before quantum mechanics, except perhaps in relation to the scattering of light by colloids and density fluctuations.
		After quantum mechanics, scattering experiments became the principal method for the study of atoms, molecules and nuclei, since the properties of the scattering system were reflected in the scattering process.
		At first sight, the scattering problem would appear to be a very difficult time-dependent problem involving the coordinates of two particles that initially are separated wave packets, then they move into the same region and interact, and finally separate into two wave packets moving relatively in a new direction.

	Elastic and Inelastic Scattering in Electron Diffraction and Imaging
		Elastic electron diffraction is usually approached based on the convenient theoretical scheme for the specific subject of the book, such as Bloch wave theory for convergent beam electron diffraction and multislice theory for high resolution TEM image simulation.
		Inelastic scattering is usually considered as an "absorption effect" when one is considering elastically scattered electrons, and it is phenomenologically represented by an imaginary potential.
		Elastic scattering is initiated from Schrödinger equation, and inelastic scattering is determined by the solution of coupled Yoshioka's equations.

	Deep Inelastic Scattering of Electrons (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		That scattering center is known to be a proton, and this scattering evidence for the existence of the proton forms a model for looking for even deeper structure.
		The elastic scattering cross section drops precipitously while the overall scattering cross section of events which produce other particles (mostly mesons) remains almost constant.
		This kind of scattering result is one of the steps which led to the current picture of the proton as being composed of two "up" quarks and a "down" quark.

	Elastic scattering (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In scattering theory and in particular in particle physics, elastic scattering is one of the specific forms of scattering.
		This implies that elastic scattering is not necessarily a physical phenomenon, but a name attached to the way in which certain physical processes are modelled mathematically.
		When a photon penetrates into a medium composed of atoms and molecules whose sizes are much smaller than the wavelength of the incident photon, the scattering process becomes elastic scattering and is called Rayleigh scattering.

	6. Differential elastic-scattering cross-section tables (tables_SM, tables_MFASF, tables_RFASF, tables_MF, tables_RF, ...
		Interference of the scattering of photons from neighboring atoms is known to make important modifications to photoabsorption near to photoionization thresholds, and thermal diffuse scattering will be important at small momentum transfers.
		In general it is anticipated that the Rayleigh scattering amplitude is very small under these circumstances, and the errors introduced by use of MF are likely masked by the contribution from inner electrons and the nuclear Thomson amplitude.
		The value of the unpolarized differential scattering cross section for 59.54-keV photons scattered through 90º by Pb in various approximations is shown in Table 4.

		depend on the energy and the material in which the transport takes place, so that the multiple elastic distribution is dependent on the energy, path-length (or corresponding energy loss), material, and threshold energies for discrete interactions.
		In the past this fact has favoured use of small-angle theories for the modelling of multiple elastic scattering, e.g.
		In EGSnrc we use an exact formulation, the multiple scattering distributions employed being dependent on the underlying elastic scattering cross sections (see section 2.4.6).

		Consequently the zeros in the soft photon bremsstrahlung matrix elements are related to zeros in elastic scattering.
		We now discuss some features of the elastic scattering matrix elements that are, in view of the previous discussion, relevant to zeros in the bremsstrahlung matrix element.
		This causes a zero in the dominant l=0 matrix element in elastic scattering and therefore a minimum in the total elastic scattering matrix element
