I'm having problems with some of the more advanced questions about Rutherford Scattering and the Gieger-Marsden experiment. Can anyone suggest somewhere online where I can read up on this and that explains it well.[:D]
One question that bugged me was this:
use Rutherford scattering differential cross section to calculated
d(sigma)/d(omega) for MeV alpha particles scattering from gold nuclei at (Phi)= 60 degree
I used the equation
d(sigma)/d(omega) = ((Zzhc)/KE))^2(1?(16sin^4(Phi)/2))
where hc = 192.MeV/F
I get 36.93 but the book says 20.65 barns
Uh hope that makes sense to someone it doesn't to me[:((]
