Influence of the laser-induced continuum structure on cross sections of the over threshold scattering of photons on atom

Process of photon scattering on atoms is considered at energy above the ionization threshold. Influence of the resonant structure in the continuum, induced by a laser field due to coupling with the level 4¹ S in helium, on the cross sections of elastic and inelastic scattering of a probe radiation on atom in the meta-stable state 2¹ S is theoretically investigated. In the rotating wave approximation approach dependences of resonant scattering cross sections on the probe and laser radiation characteristics are obtained. The frequency and polarization dependences of the scattering cross sections to the final states of atom 1¹ S, 2¹ S and 4¹ S are calculated.     

Application of R-matrix method to electron-H<Subscript>2</Subscript>S collisions in the low energy range

Electron-H₂S collision process is studied using the R-matrix method. Nine low-lying states of H₂S molecule are considered in the R-matrix formalism to obtain elastic integral, differential, momentum transfer and excitation cross sections for this scattering system. We have represented our target states using configuration interaction (CI) wavefunctions. We obtained adequate representation of vertical spectrum of the target states included in the scattering calculations. The cross sections are compared with the experiment and other theoretical results. We have obtained good agreement for elastic and momentum transfer cross sections with experiment for entire energy range considered. The differential cross sections are in excellent agreement with experiment in the range 3–15 eV. A prominent feature of this calculation is the detection of a shape resonance in ²B₂ symmetry which decays via dissociative electron attachment (DEA). Born correction is applied for the elastic and dipole allowed transition to account for higher partial waves excluded in the R-matrix calculation. The electron energy range is 0.025–15 eV.     

Positron scattering from alkaline-earth elements

The total (elastic + inelastic) cross sections fore ⁺ impact on alkaline-earth elements from Be to Ra are calculated by employing a complex spherical optical potential. This potential has static, polarization and absorption components. The positron energy range is from a few eV to several thousand eV. We have compared our elastic cross sections for Mg and Ca with the other available results and the agreement is good for energies above 100eV. We have also compared our absorption cross sections withe ⁻ ionization cross sections at high energies where our absorption cross sections are in good accord. We have made Bethe plots fore ⁺ scattering on these elements.     

Elastic scattering of heavy nuclei and nucleus-nucleus potential with repulsive core

The elastic scattering of ¹⁶O + ¹²C at various collision energies is discussed in the framework of the optical model with repulsive core nucleus-nucleus potential. The cross sections on backward angles are strongly raised due to repulsive core. It is shown by using the near-side/far-side decomposition method that the near-side component of the scattering amplitude mainly contributes to the elastic scattering cross sections on forward and backward angles. The repulsive core of ¹⁶O + ¹²C potential takes place at distances R ≲ 3 fm.

Scattering processes and electrical conductivity of partially ionized hydrogen plasma

We consider partially ionized hydrogen plasma for the density region n_e = (10¹⁸ ÷ 10²²) cm^—3. The cross sections for scattering processes between the particles are calculated within the partial wave method. Charged particles in the system (electrons, protons) interact via an effective potential that takes into account threeparticle correlations. The Buckingham polarization potential is used to describe electron‐atom and proton‐atom interactions. The electrical conductivity is determined using the Chapman‐Enskog method. The results are compared with other available data.     

Perturbative role in the inelastic electron scattering from <Superscript>29</Superscript>Si

Inelastic electron scattering form factors away from the closed sd -shell are investigated. This investigation covers the low-lying states in ²⁹Si , which is considered according to the many-particle configuration mixing shell model as the ¹⁶O core, plus thirteen nucleons distributed over the entire sd -shell orbits. The investigation concentrates on the perturbative role of the core, which is called core polarization effects, on the inelastic electron scattering form factors. Core polarization effects are taken into consideration through the excitation of nucleons from 1s and 1p core orbits, and also from the 2s -1d valence orbits into higher shells, with 2ℏω excitations. Core polarization matrix elements are calculated with the M3Y effective interaction. For the sd -shell model space, a new Hamiltonian, based on a renormalized G -matrix, USDB, is used. All calculations are performed without adjusting any parameters.     

Deep processes in nuclei and in-medium dressing of the nucleons and mesons

K⁺ scattering and quasielastic electron scattering from nuclei are expected to provide information about the nucleons and mesons in the inner regions of nuclei. The K⁺- nucleus cross sections and the quasielastic electron-nucleus response functions have been calculated taking into account the same in-medium dressing of the nucleons and the same coupling of the σ and ω mesons to the polarization of nuclear matter. We obtain a good agreement with experimental data for the two processes.     

Ionization and fragmentation of fullerenes in ion collisions with them at various impact parameters

This paper reports on the first measurements of the differential cross sections (with respect to scattering angle) of various elementary processes accompanying electron capture by keV-range H⁺ and He²⁺ ions from a fullerene molecule. Estimation of the impact parameter from the ion scattering angle in the polarization interaction with a fullerene molecule shows that the processes of capture and capture with fullerene ionization and fragmentation occur primarily at impact parameters far exceeding the fullerene radius.     

Elastic scattering of low-energy electrons by cadmium atoms

Experimental results on the differential cross sections of 180° elastic electron scattering and the total cross section of electron scattering by cadmium atoms in the energy range 0–6 eV are reported for the first time. Distinct shape resonances with the (5s ²5p)² P ⁰ and 5s5p ² configurations are revealed in the near-threshold range and at E≈4 eV. In the range 3.0–3.7 eV, the differential cross section exhibits extra singularities that are probably related to the d-wave shape resonance. The resonance contribution to the backscattering cross section near 4 eV is found to be about 20%.

Role of a fullerene shell upon stuffed atom polarization potential

We have demonstrated that the polarization of the fullerene shell considerably alters the polarization potential of an atom, stuffed inside a fullerene. This essentially affects the electron elastic scattering phases as well as corresponding cross sections. We illustrate the general trend by particular examples of electron scattering upon endohedrals Ne@C₆₀ and Ar@C₆₀. To obtain the presented results, we have suggested a simplified approach that permits to incorporate the effect of fullerenes polarizability into the Ne@C₆₀ and Ar@C₆₀ polarization potential. By applying this approach, we obtained numeric results that show strong variations in shape and magnitudes of scattering phases and cross sections due to effect of fullerene polarization upon the endohedral polarization potential.     

Polarisationsmessungen an Elektronenstrahlen nach der Transmission durch magnetisierte Eisenschichten

Magnetized iron foils of a thickness of 500 Å were transmitted by 60 keV electrons. The spin polarization of the electron beam was investigated by Mott scattering after transmission. No polarization effect was found. Since the lowest detectable polarization degree wasP=0·003 the atomic polarization cross section must be assumed to be smaller than 0·8·10^?20cm². This cross section is the sum of the spin exchange cross section and the spin dependent part of the total scattering cross section. If the electron binding energy is neglected, the spin depentend part of the total scattering cross section can be calculated from the theory of Møller scattering. In the case of our conditions-60 keV and an aperture of 10^?3 radian-the calculated cross section is smaller than the experimental upper limit. In further experiments the electron beam was split into the energy spectrum by an electrostatic analyzer placed between the iron foil and the Mott scattering foil. In these measurements only small parts of the energy spectrum were investigated, however, even here no detectable polarization occured.     

Dynamic polarization of 6,7Li nuclei in the elastic scattering of α particles

The elastic scattering of α particles on weakly bound ^6,7Li cluster nuclei is considered with allowance for their dynamic polarization within the three-particle model. The considered states of the αd and αt continuums are projected on a finite basis of stationary wave packets, which allows the total three-body problem to be reduced to a matrix problem. The results from calculating α + ^6,7Li-elastic scattering differential cross sections are considered as illustration of the three-particle approach and is compared to the results of other authors.     

Possible method for measuring the proton form factors in processes with and without proton spin flip

The ratio of the squares of the electric and magnetic proton form factors is shown to be proportional to the ratio of the cross sections for the elastic scattering of an unpolarized electron on a partially polarized proton with and without proton spin flip. The initial proton at rest should be polarized along the direction of the motion of the final proton. Similar results are valid for both radiative ep scattering and the photoproduction of pairs on a proton in the Bethe-Heitler kinematics. When the initial proton is fully polarized in the direction of the motion of the final proton, the cross section for the ep → ep process, as well as for the ep → epγ and γp → $ e\bar ep $ e\bar ep processes, without (with) proton spin flip is expressed only in terms of the square of the electric (magnetic) proton form factor. Such an experiment on the measurement of the cross sections without and with proton spin flip would make it possible to acquire new independent data on the behavior of G _E ²(Q ²) and G _M ²(Q ²), which are necessary for resolving the contradictions appearing after the experiment of the JLab collaboration on the measurement of the proton form factors with the method of polarization transfer from the initial electron to the final proton.     

Folding model analysis of pion elastic and inelastic scattering from 6Li and 12C

π ^±-Nucleus scattering cross sections are calculated applying the Watanabe superposition model with a phenomenological Woods-Saxon potential. The phenomenological potential parameters are searched for π ^± scattering from ⁶Li and ¹²C to reproduce not only differential elastic cross sections but also inelastic and total and reaction cross sections at pion kinetic energies from 50 to 672 MeV. The optical potentials of ⁶Li and ¹²C are calculated in terms of the alpha particle and deuteron optical potentials. Inelastic scattering has been analyzed using the distorted waves from elastic-scattering data. The values of deformation lengths thus obtained compare very well with the ones reported earlier.     

Electron Scattering by C4H10 and C6H6 in the Energy Range 100--1000eV

We investigate the applicability of the independent atom model （IAM） to elastic electron scattering from complex polyatomic molecules, namely C4H10 and C6H6, in the energy range 100-1000eV. The cross sections of the elastic electron scattering are calculated by employing the IAM together with the relativistic partial waves. The incorporation of both the modified absorption potential and the extended structural factor in the IAM makes the elastic differential cross sections and momentum transfer cross sections have a good agreement with the available experimental data. The present simple model seems to be insensitive to the complexity of the target molecules so that the proposed procedure can be quite useful for calculation of electron scattering from bio-molecules.     

Electron scattering on two-neutron halo nuclei: The case of 6He

The formalism to describe electron scattering reactions on two-neutron halo nuclei is developed. The halo nucleus is described as a three-body system (core +n + n), and the wave function is obtained by solving the Faddeev equations in coordinate space. We discuss elastic and quasielastic scattering using the impulse approximation to describe the reaction mechanism. We apply the method to investigate the case of electron scattering on ⁶He. Spectral functions, response functions, and differential cross sections are calculated for both neutron knockout and α knockout by the electron.
