32 3.2 Nuclear radius Experimental determination depends on type of interaction: charge radius, mass radius Definition of cross section: each scattering center is associated with a scattering area σ, called cross section. Simple definition: let k be the number of centers per area, F the total area, then the probability for a hit is W = kf σ/f = k σ and with the density of incoming particles j, the rate of events (for scattering, reaction, ) is R = k σ j F or σ = R /(j kf) σ = number of events/time/center/current density of incoming particles
33 Definition of the differential cross section: solid angle: surface fraction dω=dφ sinθ dθ / total surface of the unit sphere dω = 4π dσ/dω (Θ) = number of particles scattered into the solid angle / time / current density dσ/dω (Θ) = db/dθ b/sinθ
