Scattering of Particles. Rutherford-Bohr Atom

Problem 6.5

A proton with kinetic energy \(T\) and aiming parameter \(b\) was deflected by the Coulomb field of a stationary Au nucleus. Find the momentum imparted to the given nucleus as a result of scattering.

Reveal Answer
p≈22mT/[1+(2bT/Ze2)2]\left.p \approx 2 \sqrt{2 m T /\left[1+\left(2 b T / Z e^{2}\right)^{2}\right.}\right]
