ruthercm_cross.m

Dispersion de Rutherford en Matlab

%ruthercm_cross.m - program to do the scattering crossection versus scattering
%angle in Rutherford Scattering - modified version of Ch10's ruther_cross1.m
%here we include CM motion effect and compare to the regular case. The projectile
%particle here is gold, and the target particle is also gold.
