Small-angle electron-positron scattering

Small angle neutron scattering

Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) is a technique that enables to probe the 3-D structure of materials on a typical size range lying from ∼ 1 nm up to ∼ a few 100 nm, the obtained information being statistically averaged on a sample whose volume is ∼ 1 cm3. This very rich technique enables to make a full structural characterization of a given object of nanometric dimensions (radius of gyrati...

Electron and positron scattering from 1,1-C2H2F2.

1,1-difluoroethylene (1,1-C2H2F2) molecules have been studied for the first time experimentally and theoretically by electron and positron impact. 0.4-1000 eV electron and 0.2-1000 eV positron impact total cross sections (TCSs) were measured using a retarding potential time-of-flight apparatus. In order to probe the resonances observed in the electron TCSs, a crossed-beam method was used to inv...

Application of small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) for differentiation between normal and cancerous breast tissues

ABSTRACT Background: Coherent scattering leads to diffraction effects and especially constructive interferences. Theseinterferences carry some information about the molecular structure of the tissue. As breast cancer isthe most widespread cancer in women, this project evaluated the application of small angleX-ray scattering (SAXS) for differentiation between normal and cancerous breast tissues....

MnO 3 by small angle neutron scattering

Neutron small angle scattering of hemoglobin.

Neutron small angle scattering experiments were performed on human hemoglobin in various mixtures of Hz0 and DzO. It was possible to observe the inter-particle effect without corrections for resolution and to verify the first minimum and the secondary maximum in accordance with the theoretical scattering curve. The accuracy in determining the radius of gyration has been improved over that deter...
