Differential cross section.

What is the neutron scattering Differential Cross section .. simple definition? ... Thanks

Essentially it is the angular distribution of the neutron after scattering.

for your question! The neutron scattering differential cross section is a measurement of the probability of a neutron scattering off of a target material at a specific angle. It is an important tool for understanding the properties and structure of materials, and is commonly used in fields such as nuclear physics and materials science. Essentially, it tells us how likely it is for a neutron to be deflected in a certain direction when it interacts with a material. I hope this helps to clarify the concept for you!
