Preferred Label : reaction cross-section;
Detailed label : reaction cross-section, σr;
IUPAC definition : A quantity used in collision theories of reactions in order to interpret calculated
or experimental rates. In some collision theories the reaction cross-section is considered
to be related to bmax, the maximum value of the impact parameter that allows reaction
to occur, by: \[σ _{{r}} P_{{r}}\ \pi \ b_{\max } {2}\] where P r is the reaction
probability.;
