• Cross section (physics) — A cross section is the effective area which governs the probability of some scattering or absorption event. Together with particle density and path length, it can be used to predict the total scattering probability via the Beer Lambert law. In… …   Wikipedia

• Radar cross section — (RCS) is a measure of how detectable an object is with a radar. For example a stealth aircraft (which is designed to be undetectable) will have design features that give it a low RCS, as opposed to a passenger airliner that will have a high… …   Wikipedia

• Nuclear cross section — The nuclear cross section of a nucleus is used to characterize the probability that a nuclear reaction will occur. The concept of a nuclear cross section can be quantified physically in terms of characteristic area where a larger area means a… …   Wikipedia

• Absorption cross section — is a measure for the probability of an absorption process. More generally, the term cross section is used in physics to quantify the probability of a certain particle particle interaction, e.g., scattering, photoabsorption, etc. (Note that light… …   Wikipedia
