An important parameter for this process is the kinematic factor.
Nondestructive thin  lm analysis using this process usually uses an energy of two to three megaÂ·electronÂ·volts, can be improved by ion channeling, and plots count against either channels or energy. An important parameter for this process is the kinematic factor. The differential cross section of this process is proportional to the "reciprocal of the fourth power of the sine of the half angle." One can calculate the impact parameter from the hyperbolic trajectory of this process, which is created by a repulsive Coulombic force, and then use the impact parameter to calculate a nuclear radius. This type of elastic scattering occurred when alpha particles struck atomic nuclei in the GeigerÂ–Marsden experiment. For 10 points each, what type of scattering is named for the physicist who oversaw a "gold foil experiment"?
