Preferred Label : scattering, small angle;
MeSH definition : Scattering of a beam of electromagnetic or acoustic RADIATION, or particles, at small
angles by particles or cavities whose dimensions are many times as large as the wavelength
of the radiation or the de Broglie wavelength of the scattered particles. Also know
as low angle scattering. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms,
6th ed) Small angle scattering (SAS) techniques, small angle neutron (SANS), X-ray
(SAXS), and light (SALS, or just LS) scattering, are used to characterize objects
on a nanoscale.;
MeSH synonym : scatterings, low angle; angle scatterings, low; low angle scattering; scattering, low angle; angle scattering, low; low angle scatterings; small angle scattering;
MeSH annotation : for SAXS coordinate with X-RAY DIFFRACTION; for SANS coordinate with NEUTRON DIFFRACTION;
for SALS coordinate with LIGHT;
Origin ID : D053838;
