B Angular distribution to energy distribution

AI Thread Summary
To transform angular distributions into energy distributions for elastic nuclear reactions, one can integrate the differential angular cross sections over all angles. This method is similar to techniques used in photoionization, where energy distributions are derived from angular distributions. The discussion highlights that while the photoelectric effect does not directly involve energy distribution, the integration approach remains applicable. Understanding these relationships is crucial for accurate modeling in nuclear physics. The conversation emphasizes the importance of these transformations in analyzing nuclear reactions.

Hi!

I wonder, in the case of elastic reactions with nuclear potential, how go from an angular distribution to an energy distribution?

I have relationships on differential angular cross sections for neutron and proton elastic nuclear reations and I would like to transform them into differential energy cross sections.

Do you know how to proceed ?

Thank you in advance.

At least in the field of photoionization, the energy distribution can be obtained from angular distribution by integrating the latter over all angles.
 
Exact :) the Photoelectric effect does not involve energy distribution, it is convenient =)
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
