DV Plotting XSect

Creating a program called MollerDiffXSect.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
main()
{
float angle,dSigma_dOmega;
double alpha=7.2973525664e-3;
double E_CM=53e6;

                /* using equation from Landau-Lifshitz & Azfar */
                /* units in MeV */
                for(angle=90;angle<=180; angle=angle+.25)
                        {
                        dSigma_dOmega=(alpha*(3+cos(angle*3.14/180)*cos(angle*3.14/180)));
                        dSigma_dOmega=dSigma_dOmega*dSigma_dOmega;

dSigma_dOmega=dSigma_dOmega/(4*E_CM*E_CM*sin(angle*3.14/180)*sin(angle*3.14/180)*sin(angle*3.14/180)*sin(angle*3.14/180));
                        dSigma_dOmega=dSigma_dOmega*1e18;
                        dSigma_dOmega=dSigma_dOmega*.3892e-3;//barns
                        dSigma_dOmega=dSigma_dOmega/1e-6;//micro barns
                        fprintf(stdout," %f\t%f\n", angle, dSigma_dOmega);
                        }

}

Creating a Makefile with contents:

CC = gcc
DiffXSect: MollerDiffXSect.o
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) MollerDiffXSect.o  -lm -o DiffXSect
MollerDiffXSect.o: MollerDiffXSect.c
        $(CC)  $(CFLAGS) -c MollerDiffXSect.c

The program can be run with the commands:

make DiffXSect
./DiffXSect >DiffXSect.dat

This creates a data file with the scattering angle theta and the corresponding theoretical Moller differential cross-section for said angle.
