scattering
deflection of particles or radiation through interactions with other objects
backscatter
reflection of waves, particles, or signals back to the approximate direction from which they came
evanescent wave scattering
optical phenomenon
Rutherford scattering
elastic scattering of charged particles by the Coulomb interaction
light scattering
physical processes where moving particles or radiation (e.g. light or sound), deviate from a straight trajectory by localized non-uniformities
Thomson scattering
scattering of electromagnetic radiation by a free charged particle
Compton scattering
scattering of a photon off of a charged particle
Rayleigh scattering
elastic scattering of light, or other electromagnetic radiation, by particles of size much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation
elastic scattering
process in nuclear and particle physics
neutron scattering
physical phenomenon
electron scattering
subatomic phenomenon
inelastic scattering
particle scattering in which kinetic energy is not conserved
small-angle scattering
radiation scattering technique
