Cross section of interaction in Coulomb's interaction model
===========================================================

The effective cross section is a physical quantity characterizing the probability of
transition of a system of two interacting particles to a certain final state, a
quantitative characteristic of the acts of collision of particles of a stream hitting a
target with target particles. The effective cross-section has the dimension of the area.
In a magnetron, this value can be calculated if you know the ionization energy of gas
atoms.
