Scattering, Two-Volume Set: Scattering and inverse scattering in Pure and Applied Science

by E.R. Pike, D. Barry Lumsden, Ronald H. Sherron, et al.

Scattering is the collision of two objects that results in a change of trajectory and energy. For example, in particle physics, such as electrons, photons, or neutrons are "scattered off" of a target specimen, resulting in a different energy and direction. In the field of electromagnetism, scattering is the random diffusion of electromagnetic radiation from air masses is an aid in the long-range sending of radio signals over geographic obstacles such...
