Relativistic Coulomb Scattering e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In recent years several both theoretical and experimental, have been undertaken to determine the structure of nuclei (including the proton) from the results of the scattering of fast relativistic) electrons by nuclei. The experimental data and the theoretical results measure essentially the deviation of the actual scattering from that due to a point nucleus and thus reveal certain details of the charge distribution. It is this scattering by a point charge that will concern us in this paper.
