Multiple Coulumb Scattering
❑
Particles (electrons) passing through matter suffer repeated elastic Coulomb
scattering from nuclei
❑
Considering that nuclei usually have mass greater than the incoming
particle, the energy transfer is negligible but each scattering centre adds a
small deviation to the incoming particle’s trajectory also
