https://padlet.com/jeannewilson1/5cpp5000_problemclass_requests Have a go at the problems, upload any questions you have based on where you got stuck on problems or anything from the lectures that you would like explained better. We will review requests on Thursday afternoons to inform content for the following Monday's live session en-us 2020-09-04 10:25:38 UTC 2020-10-05 13:06:06 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/jeannewilson1/5cpp5000_problemclass_requests/wish/786079843 Could you explain what is meant by the solid angle omega in the differential cross section equation and how does it differ from theta? Thank you.]]> 2020-09-28 22:15:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannewilson1/5cpp5000_problemclass_requests/wish/786079843 https://padlet.com/jeannewilson1/5cpp5000_problemclass_requests/wish/786086610 How does the form factor account for nuclear shape? i.e does adding it imply the nucleus is a sphere?]]> 2020-09-28 22:19:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannewilson1/5cpp5000_problemclass_requests/wish/786086610 https://padlet.com/jeannewilson1/5cpp5000_problemclass_requests/wish/791790028 Can we go through the derivation of the rutherford formula in more steps so that I can understand the meaning of the variables in greater depth, at the moment it is rather confusing. Thanks ]]> 2020-09-30 15:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannewilson1/5cpp5000_problemclass_requests/wish/791790028 https://padlet.com/jeannewilson1/5cpp5000_problemclass_requests/wish/792489194 Could you explain the steps that was done when calculating the coulomb energy difference between the mirror pairs? 
Also could you explain why the Rutherford scattering formula breaks down.
Thank you.]]> 2020-09-30 18:10:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannewilson1/5cpp5000_problemclass_requests/wish/792489194 https://padlet.com/jeannewilson1/5cpp5000_problemclass_requests/wish/793968194 In the final formula for the form factor which can be found on lecture three, slide 10 or in the textbook equation 3.6 on page 47, where does the sin in the integral end? Is it just sin (qr')? or does it contain the other factors as well?]]> 2020-10-01 08:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannewilson1/5cpp5000_problemclass_requests/wish/793968194 https://padlet.com/jeannewilson1/5cpp5000_problemclass_requests/wish/798208132 Why for mirror pairs is n=z-1?]]> 2020-10-02 16:10:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannewilson1/5cpp5000_problemclass_requests/wish/798208132 https://padlet.com/jeannewilson1/5cpp5000_problemclass_requests/wish/799985272 Could you possibly define and highlight the differences between them?
Thank you!]]> 2020-10-03 18:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannewilson1/5cpp5000_problemclass_requests/wish/799985272 https://padlet.com/jeannewilson1/5cpp5000_problemclass_requests/wish/801022429 I am a bit confused with the units while deriving the cross section. I was wondering if we could go over the derivation with units. I am also struggling to get my head around a probability with the units of m^2.]]> 2020-10-04 17:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannewilson1/5cpp5000_problemclass_requests/wish/801022429
