11: Fundamentals of Quantum Scattering Theory
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
Thumbnail: Collimated homogeneous beam of monoenergetic particles, long wavepacket which is approximately a planewave, but strictly does not extend to infinity in all directions, is incident on a target and subsequently scattered into the detector subtending a solid angle. The detector is assumed to be far away from the scattering center. (Department of Physics Wiki @ Florida State University).
