Summary
The back-scattering from a material half-space is studied in the Gaussian small-angle approximation. The exact distribution of angles and displacements of the emerging particles is obtained by relating the problem to a mathematically equivalent Brownian-motion problem, solved recently by McKean.
Riassunto
Si studia lo scattering all’indietro da un semispazio materiale nell’approssimazione gaussiana a piccoli angoli. Si ottiene la distribuzione esatta degli angoli e degli spostamenti delle particelle emergenti collegando il problema ad un problema del moto browniano matematicamente equivalente, recentemente risolto da McKean.
Реэюме
Исследуется обратное рассеяние от полубесконечного вешества в мало-угловом гауссовом приближении. Получается точное распределение выходяших частиц по углам и смешениям, посредством свяэывания зтой проблемы с математически зквивалентной проблемой броуновского движения, недавно раэрещенной МкКином.
