• Mott scattering — Mott scattering, also referred to as spin coupling inelastic Coulomb scattering, is the separation of the two spin states of an electron beam by scattering the beam off the Coulomb field of heavy atoms. It is mostly used to measure the spin… …   Wikipedia

• Rutherford scattering — In physics, Rutherford scattering is a phenomenon that was explained by Ernest Rutherford in 1911,[1] and led to the development of the Rutherford model (planetary model) of the atom, and eventually to the Bohr model. It is now exploited by the… …   Wikipedia

• Collimator — Example of a particle collimator A collimator is a device that narrows a beam of particles or waves. To narrow can mean either to cause the directions of motion to become more aligned in a specific direction (i.e., collimated or parallel) or to… …   Wikipedia
