particle can be described in the framework of scattering theory. Some areas where scattering and scattering theory are significant include radar sensing, medical

Lorenz–Mie solution, the Lorenz–Mie–Debye solution or Mie scattering) describes the scattering of an electromagnetic plane wave by a homogeneous sphere

widespread use of scattering in particle physics to study subatomic matter. Rutherford scattering or Coulomb scattering is the elastic scattering of charged

point in space and time. Perturbative quantum field theory (usually employed for scattering theory) describes forces in terms of force-mediating particles

field theory. Arthur Wightman formulated the axioms in the early 1950s, but they were first published only in 1964 after Haag–Ruelle scattering theory affirmed

of the theory is that the scattering amplitude for potential scattering grows as a function of the cosine z {\displaystyle z} of the scattering angle as

In scattering theory and accelerator physics, luminosity (L) is the ratio of the number of events detected (dN) in a certain period of time (dt) to the

Multiple scattering theory (MST) is the mathematical formalism that is used to describe the propagation of a wave through a collection of scatterers. Examples

to wave scattering. The direct scattering transform describes how a function scatters waves or generates bound-states. The inverse scattering transform

Rayleigh scattering (/ˈreɪli/ RAY-lee) is the scattering or deflection of light, or other electromagnetic radiation, by particles with a size much smaller
