In the Coulomb scattering experiment, a beam of alpha particles (He) of intensity I (watt/m2) is directed at a thin plate of gold (19%Au) with an area of A and thickness d, the scattered beam is then observed by the Geiger detector. Müller placed at a distance R from the center of the gold plate. 1. Determine the equation in the given variables) for the scattering cross-section and the impact parameter b (the closest approximation distance to the alpha particle and the gold nucleus) for any scattering angle and at the time an interfacial collision (direct collision) occurs.
