In chemistry, nuclear physics, and particle physics, inelastic scattering is a process in which the kinetic energy of a particle or a system of particles changes after a collision. Formally, the kinetic energy of the incident particle is not conserved (in contrast to elastic scattering). In an inelastic scattering proc...
