General formula for the inelastic scattering of relativistic spin-(1/2) particles by heavy atoms

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)

A general differential-cross-section formula for the inelastic scattering of relativistic spin-(1/2) particles by heavy atoms is derived in the Born approximation and the structure and polarization of the incident particle is incorporated. The results reduce to those of Fano and of Turner et al. in well-known limiting cases.
