摘要
A simple and general expression for the classical scattering angle in binary collisions of particles in fields of arbitrary r(-1) potential is derived. The relationship is very convenient for interpretation of scattering experiments and for theoretical studies of three-dimensional repulsive collisions because it allows one to express the amount of energy and linear momentum transferred between the colliding particles as a simple function either of the collision impact parameter or of the scattering angle.
