Click For Summary
Differential cross sections (DCS), double differential cross sections (DDCS), and triple differential cross sections (TDCS) are terms used in particle physics to describe scattering processes. DCS measures the probability of scattering into a specific solid angle, while DDCS adds an additional variable, often energy, to account for more detailed scattering information. TDCS further extends this by including yet another variable, providing even finer resolution in the analysis of scattering events. The naming convention reflects the number of independent variables involved in the measurement. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for interpreting experimental results in high-energy physics.

TL;DR
What are the difference between? Why is the names?
There are differential cross section, double differential cross section, triple DCS.
What are the difference, and why is the names? Thanks.

A relative asked me about the following article: Experimental observation of a time rondeau crystal https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-025-03028-y I pointed my relative to following article: Scientists Discovered a Time Crystal That Reveals a New Way to Order Time https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/scientists-discovered-time-crystal-reveals-180055389.html This area is outside of my regular experience. I'm interested in radiation effects in polycrystalline material, i.e., grain...
