Abstract
It is pointed out that the cross-section for the scattering of identical ch arged bosons is isotropic over a broad angular range around 90 degrees when the Sommerfeld parameter has a critical value, which depends exclusively o n the spin of the particle. This effect is not limited to either Coulomb sc attering or bosons, and, as illustrated in the shadow scattering of identic al hadrons, may lead to interesting physical effects.
