Do small-angle coherent scattering experiments really see coherent effects over arbitrarily large distances?
Short version
After integrating over all possible outgoing angles, the total cross-section of coherent elastic scattering from a fixed target of characteristic length $L$ scales like $L^4$. Does ...
