This textbook is a unique treatise on the present status of particle physics summarised for physics students at an introductory level: it provides insights into essential experimental and theoretical techniques and will gradually deepen the reader’s understanding of the field.
This book explores quantum-mechanical scattering in macroscopic targets and the conditions for coherent scattering on a macroscopic scale. It introduces coherence domains and examines their role in scattering, emphasizing the momentum and energy transfer to the target.
