The scattering cross-section of electrons in noble gas atoms exhibits the minimum value at electron energies of approximately 1 eV. This is the Ramsauer-Townsend effect. In this letter, we study the Ramsauer-Townsend effect in the presence of both the minimal observable length and the maximal momentum (originating from doubly special theories) through the generalized uncertainty principle.
