Lesson 6. Elastic electron scattering.

Students should be able to:

Describe the difference between Rutherford and Mott scattering
Discuss the reason for the divergency in the Rutherford cross section
Explain what a form factor is and how different charge distributions in the nucleus influence the elastic scattering data
Relate Form factors and the Rosenbluth formula
Differentiate between elastic and inelastic scattering

Warmup your students: ask activating questions at the beginning and at the end of the lesson
