    Form Factor and Neutron Scattering

    Hi all Can someone please describe how the form factor used in Rutherford scattering is applicable to neutron probing of nuclei? Also, is the kinetic energy required to probe a given radius simply given by the de Broglie wavelength where momentum, p >= h-bar / Radius ? (Relativity...
