How we can prove (using geomtry and not differential equation) that the orbit of planet have to be a conic section.

Hi everybody, I have a experimental question. In cross-section calculation of production of particles (say D), one counts the number of produced D. To selection the D one has to apply some kinematic cuts. If cuts are tight, number of D will be less and if cuts are loose, number of D will be...

Hey, The hard cross-section of a 2 to 2 inelastic scattering goes as 1/E^2, where E is the center of mass energy. However, the cross-section in proton proton collisions increases with energy. My question is; does anybody have a good explanation for this and/or a good reference where I can...
