For the Rutherford (Geiger and Marsden) experiment with 5.5 MeV alpha particles on a 1 um gold foil, and for the six angles (decades) between 10-5 and 10° rad, calculate the Rutherford differential cross section (DCS), dor/d2, (a) without and (b) with screening. Represent both results graphically and draw conclusions.
