The maximum momentum transfer in proton-hydrogen collisions.
The upper limit of momentum transfer by a proton to K-shell electrons is calculated in a restricted three-body classical model.  The model shows that the infinite upper limit used in practice, is generally good except for low energy protons passing through an extremely rarefied gas.
