Particle physics

relativistic Coulomb scattering of spin one-half electrons off a point nucleus, which corrects the Rutherford cross section for electron spin.

In particle physics, Mott scattering refers to relativistic Coulomb scattering of spin one-half electrons off a point nucleus, which corrects the Rutherford cross section for electron spin. This meaning comes from Mott (1929) in Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Containing Papers of a Mathematical and Physical Character.[1]
