This lecture delves into the analysis of Rutherford scattering cross sections, covering topics such as the experimental limitations, relativistic cases, full scattering cross sections, backscattering on nuclei, Coulomb law tests, and nucleus size determination. The lecture also explores the implications of the Rutherford experiment, the determination of particle properties, and the measurement of particle lifetimes and properties using various detectors and technologies.
