Transcribed Image Text:2. Consider the Rutherford scattering problem in which a particle of electric charge q and
mass m is moving towards a scattering center, a heavy nucleus of charge Q assumed to
be immovable and at rest. Initially the incoming particle is infinitely far from the
scattering center (the impact parameter) is b (see figure below). Derive an integral
expression for the scattering angle 0, using Hamilton's equations.
