A scattering technique based on the deflection of a beam of particles, or an electromagnetic or acoustic wave, away from the straight trajectory after it interacts with structures that are much larger than the wavelength of the radiation. 3, record 1, English, - small%2Dangle%20scattering

The deflection is small (0.1-10°) hence the name small-angle. SAS techniques can give information about the size, shape and orientation of structures in a sample. 3, record 1, English, - small%2Dangle%20scattering

Diffusion à «petits angles». Les neutrons sont caractérisés par une longueur d'onde [lambda] d'environ 1 nm (10-9m). Lorsqu'un faisceau de neutrons rencontre un échantillon possédant une structure à «grande échelle» (1 nm à 100 nm), faite d'au moins deux espèces, il est diffusé à un angle [thêta] petit, d'où le nom de diffusion à petits angles. L'intensité diffusée est proportionnelle à un contraste naturel entre les deux espèces ou obtenue par une substitution isotopique. 1, record 1, French, - diffusion%20%C3%A0%20petits%20angles
