= Nuclear reaction cross-section
{title2=$\sigma(E)$}

The effective <area> for a specified <nuclear reaction> channel at given incident <energy>. Multiplying incident <particle flux>, target count and this <cross section> gives an ideal event rate; target losses and <detection efficiency> require separate corrections.
