Collisions: Electron-Proton, Proton-Antiproton, and Proton-Proton
摘要
Beautiful electron-proton scattering experiments were carried out by Robert Hofstadter in the 1950s. These were electron scattering experiments that can be elastic or inelastic (where we excite internal modes of the nucleus). Cross section of scattering sheds light on spatial charge and magnetic moment distribution of the proton (any other nucleus in general).
