You are conducting your own Rutherford scattering experiment in lab by scattering 5.5 MeV α-particles off of gold foil. You detector can detect a maximum of 2000 particles/sec. If you want to design your experiment such that you detect at least 1 particle/sec at a scattering angle of 50°, will you be able to use the same detector to measure the count rate at a scattering angle of 6°?
