8 × 108 × 6. 02 × 1019 × 2. 78 × 10 −^4

= 2. 99 × 10 −^24

Solving the above equations we find
A= 1 .57 b/Sr
B= 2 .88 b/Sr

8.69σ(total)=


Total number of particles scattered/sec
(beam intensity) (number of target particles within the beam)
As the scattering is assumed to be isotropic total number of particles scattered
=(Observed number) (4π/dΩ)= 15 × 4 π/ 2 × 10 −^3 = 9. 42 × 104 /s
Beam intensity, that is number of beam particles passing through unit area
per second

=
beam current

1. 6 × 10 −^19 C

= 6. 25 × 1010 /cm^2 s

Therefore σ(total) =
