SCATTERING experiment

The SCATTERING experiment investigates the structure of materials by directing a beam of particles, such as neutrons or X-rays, at a sample. When these particles hit the material, they bounce off in different directions. By analyzing the angles and intensities of these scattered particles, scientists can determine the arrangement and properties of atoms within the material. This technique helps us understand complex structures, like proteins or crystals, without destroying the sample, providing valuable insights into their composition and behavior at the microscopic level.
