6: Classical Interacting Systems

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

In a scattering experiment, a beam of particles interacts with a sample and the beam particles scatter off the sample particles. A momentum~q and energy ~ω are transferred to the beam particle during such a collision. If ω=0, the scattering is said to be elastic. For ω≠=0, the scattering is inelastic.
