English term

deep inelastic scattering

English to Indonesian Science Physics
Evidence for the existence of quarks comes from deep inelastic scattering: firing electrons at nuclei to determine the distribution of charge within nucleons (which are baryons). If the charge is uniform, the electric field around the proton should be uniform and the electron should scatter elastically. Low-energy electrons do scatter in this way, but above a particular energy, the protons deflect some electrons through large angles. The recoiling electron has much less energy and a jet of particles is emitted. This inelastic scattering suggests that the charge in the proton is not uniform but split among smaller charged particles: quarks.

hamburan tak elastis dalam

U/ "inelastic scattering", lihat Ref 1 (kamus BATAN). U/ makna "deep", saya kira yang tepat adalah "dalam" sebagaimana Ref 2, yakni, kemampuan partikel penumbuk (dalam hal ini elektron) masuk jauh ke dalam tertumbuk.

The direct evidence for the existence of quarks inside the proton is provided by deep inelastic scattering. The idea is to accelerate electrons to very high energies, then allow them to interact with a stationary proton, and investigate what happens. But why is this called deep inelastic scattering?

At high energies, the wavelengths associated with the electrons are much smaller than the size of a proton. Hence the electrons can probe distances that are small compared with the proton - that is, DEEP within the proton. However, the high energies tend to disrupt the proton, so that it produces several new particles (hadrons). This means the scattering is INELASTIC because the target has been changed in the process.

agree Hipyan Nopri : 'penghamburan' atau 'penyebaran' bisa diterima.

penyebaran inelastis tajam

"tajam" vs. "dalam" -> i prefer tajam :-)
