Cross section (physics): Art & Measurement

In physics, the cross section is a measure related to the probability that a specific process will take place in a collision of two particles. For example, the Rutherford cross section is a measure of probability that an alpha particle will be deflected by a given angle during an interaction with an atomic nucleus. Cross section is typically denoted σ…
