American Confederate general in the Civil War who was defeated in the Chattanooga Campaign (1863). British physicist. He shared a 1915 Nobel Prize with his son Sir William Lawrence Bragg (1890-1971) for an analysis of x-ray spectra and the structure of crystals. Bragg law Bragg Braxton Bragg Sir William Henry

Bragg peak
A maximum in the graph of energy loss of a high-energy particle, as it travels through matter, just before it comes to rest
Bragg peaks
plural form of Bragg peak
Bragg scattering
the diffraction phenomenon exhibited by a crystal bombarded with X-rays in such a way that each plane of the crystal lattice acts as a reflector
Bragg's law
equates the angle (\theta) between the incident and scattered ray to the spacing (d) between the crystal planes and the wavelength (\lambda) of the radiation - n\lambda=2d\sin(\theta) \
Bragg angle
The angle between an incident x-ray beam and a set of crystal planes for which the secondary radiation displays maximum intensity as a result of constructive interference
Bragg law
Relation between the spacing of atomic planes in crystals and the angles of incidence at which the planes produce the most intense reflections of electromagnetic radiation and particle waves. The law, first formulated by Lawrence Bragg, is useful for measuring wavelengths and for determining the lattice spacings of crystals (see crystal lattice), and is the principal way to make precise energy measurements of X rays and low-energy gamma rays.

Braxton Bragg
born March 22, 1817, Warrenton, N.C., U.S. died Sept. 27, 1876, Galveston, Texas U.S. and Confederate army officer. He graduated from West Point and served in the Seminole Wars and the Mexican War. When North Carolina seceded, he joined the Confederate army and fought in the American Civil War. He was promoted to general in 1862 at the Battle of Shiloh. As commander of the Army of Tennessee, he led his troops to victory at the Battle of Chickamauga. His forces besieged the Union troops at Chattanooga but were eventually routed. He was relieved of his command but appointed military adviser to Confederate Pres. Jefferson Davis
Sir William Bragg
(b. July 2, 1862, Wigton, Cumberland, Eng. d. March 12, 1942, London) British scientist, a pioneer in solid-state physics. With his son (William) Lawrence Bragg (1890-1971), he shared a 1915 Nobel Prize for research on the determination of crystal structures and Lawrence's discovery (1912) of the Bragg law of X-ray diffraction. The Bragg ionization spectrometer William designed and built is the prototype of all modern X-ray and neutron diffractometers; the two men used it to make the first exact measurements of X-ray wavelengths and crystal data
