Students want to construct a scattering experiment using a powerful source of 5.5-MeV α particles to scatter from a gold foil. They want to be able to count 1 particle/s at 50°, but their detector is limited to a maximum count rate of 2000 particles/s. Their detector subtends a small angle. Will their experiment work without modifying the detector if the other angle they want to measure is 6°? Explain.
