KnowraInelastic scatteringLinked fromLinked fromThe 8 pages that link to Inelastic scattering, each with the reason it gives.All 8Broader topic 3Related 1Compared with 4Nuclear reactionBroader topic: It distinguishes energy-transfer events from reactions that alter nuclear composition.Electron diffractionCompared with: Energy loss can blur diffraction information and also provide complementary spectroscopic signals.ScatteringBroader topic: Energy-changing events reveal internal excitations of the scattering material.Elastic scatteringCompared with: It differs because the outgoing participants can have changed internal states or reduced kinetic energy.Electron scatteringBroader topic: It distinguishes energy-exchanging events from elastic momentum redirection.Nuclear cross sectionCompared with: Its cross section separates energy-changing events from elastic scattering.Atomic and molecular collisionsCompared with: It separates energy-transfer collisions from purely elastic deflection.Electron techniquesRelated: Energy transfer creates spectroscopy signals and can also damage specimens.
