The light atoms serve to slow down the neutrons by elastic scattering so they can then be absorbed by nuclear reactions.
22.
This phenomenon is known as elastic scattering, and the electron ( or lighthouse ) is known as the " scatterer ".
23.
The elastic scattering is governed by two kinematic conditions-conservation of energy and the energy of the momentum component parallel to the crystal:
24.
Rayleigh scattering is the simplest and describes elastic scattering of light or other electromagnetic radiation by objects much smaller than the incident wavelength.
25.
The commonly used methods to detect neutrons can therefore be categorized according to the nuclear processes relied upon, mainly neutron capture or elastic scattering.

He was awarded the Lenin Prize in 1972 for a series of work titled " Elementary processes and non-elastic scattering at nuclear collisions ".
27.
The main results in this field were the observation of the structure in the elastic scattering process and the first observation of the charmed baryons.
28.
He elucidated the a previously unknown elastic scattering process that will rotate the linear polarization of the scattered photon by ?\ pi ( 1997a ).
29.
The term " elastic scattering " implies that the internal states of the scattering particles do not change, and hence they emerge unchanged from the scattering process.

X-ray diffraction is a form of elastic scattering; the outgoing X-rays have the same energy, and thus same wavelength, as the incoming X-rays, only with altered direction.
