A particle with kinetic energy `T` is deflected by a spherical potential well radius `R` and depth `U_(0)` i.e., by the field in which the potential energy of the particle takes the form
`U = {(0" for "r gt R),(-U_(0)" for "r lt R):}`
where `r` is the distance from the centre of the well. Find the relationship between the aiming parameter `b` of the particle and the angle `theta` through which it deflects from initial motion direction.
