A part of Rutherford’s scattering experiments, this particular experiment involved shooting alpha particles at a piece of gold foil with the source, foil, and detector placed in a vacuum vessel.
Even younger: illustration of the new double-slit experiment using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering on an iridium oxide crystal. An intense beam of high-energy X-ray photons (violet) hits two ...
Schematic of a grazing incidence small and wide angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS/GIWAXS) experimental setup showing the incident (αi) and the scattered angles along the horizontal (2θf) and vertical (αf ...
