| differential |
A specification of the angular distribution of the electromagnetic energy scattered by a particle or a scattering medium. The differential (scattering) cross section is defined as the ratio of the intensity of radiant energy scattered in a given direction to the incident irradiance and thus has dimensions of area per unit solid angle. The symbol is frequently used for scattering cross section and d /d for the differential cross section.
