What is Inelastic Scattering Cross-section – Definition

by
Inelastic scattering cross section is relatively small for light nuclei, while is high especially at high energies and by heavy nuclei. Inelastic scattering cross section. Periodic Table

Inelastic Scattering Cross-section

Inelastic Neutron Scattering Cross-section
Inelastic scattering plays an important role in slowing down neutrons especially at high energies and by heavy nuclei.
