scattering length

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
scattering length [′skad·ə·riŋ ‚leŋkth]
(nuclear physics)
A parameter used in analyzing nuclear scattering at low energies; as the energy of the bombarding particle becomes very small, the scattering cross section approaches that of an impenetrable sphere whose radius equals this length. Also known as scattering power.

The neutron-scattering experiments, in this situation, should be performed with protonated polymers where the contrast of some structural elements (defects) is determined by the coherent scattering length density of material.
Bringing together writings by an international group of researchers working in different areas of quantum physics, the proceedings includes such topics as universality in few-body systems with large scattering length, simulations of dilute Fermi gases, normal persistent currents and gross shell structure in high spin, geometric aspects of the shell model, and quantum phase transitions in two-fluid systems.
