Atomic Scattering
Daniel Lacks
Harvard University
The interaction of atomic particles controls important physical phenomena like the formation of liquids and solids, heat transfer, and the viscosity of fluids. Scientists commonly study this interaction by conducting scattering experiments. Atomic Scattering is a computer simulation program that will enable you to view your next scattering event from a whole new perspective.
Atomic Scattering demonstrates aspects of particle interaction that can't be seen easily in traditional experiments: how the potential's attractive and repulsive properties affect particle motion; how the velocities of particles change with particle separation to conserve total energy; and how impact parameter and initial energy affect the outcome of a scattering event.
Unlike textbooks or lectures, Atomic Scattering allows you to view particle motion and to see how changes in parameters and initial conditions affect the behavior of a system. Trajectories can be displayed in real-space, relative, or center-of-mass coordinates, or as motion of the radial coordinate in an effective potential. You can explore more computationally difficult problems than can be approached analytically, and you can investigate the concepts of Rutherford, rainbow, and glory scattering. 32 pp.
