scattering length

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 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.
