Scattering of monoenergetic argon beams from heated platinum: Out-of-plane time-of-flight measurements

Time-of-flight measurements were made in and out of the plane of incidence, with initially monoenergetic argon beams (speed 5.75 × 10⁴ cm/sec.; incident angle 55° from target normal) before and after reflection from heated platinum. The data were used to compute low order moments of velocity distribution : relative number flux, momentum and energy flux. Flux ratios yield mean speed, mean energy and speed distribution as functions of angle of reflection. The data are consistent with the hypotheses that the tangentical component of momentum of the incident beam is nearly preserved on collision and that dispersion out of the plane of incidence is caused by surface roughness.     

Topological cross sections in hadron-nucleon and hadron-nucleus collisions at very high energies

We apply our microscopic model for the topological cross section σ_n to produce n charged particles in hadron-proton interactions to hadron-nucleus scattering. The model is based on a stochastic branching process for hadronization. We calculate multiplicity distributions of hadron-nucleus collisions for 50 GeV ? E_L ? 400 GeV based on a multiple collision model. The production of “grey” $\text{(0.3 <}\text{ν}\text{c}\text{< 0.7)}$ particles is considered together with the shower $\text{(}\text{ν}\text{c}\text{> 0.7)}$ particles in order to test the model for higher number of collisions. The joint probability distribution of numbers of shower and grey particles F(n_s, n_g) is calculated. Finally, we critically compare the results to experimental data.     

Inelastic effect in low energy ion-surface collisions: He+Au,Ag

Energy distributions of He⁺ ions scattered by Au and Ag surfaces are measured by an ISS system with high energy resolution, at a scattering angle of 90° and at incident ion energies ranging from 277 to 977 eV. It is found that the observed peak energies deviate toward the low energy side by several electron-volts with respect to the calculated elastic single collision energies. Both the deviation Q' and the inelastic loss energy Q are plotted as a function of incident ion energy for the Au surface.     

The influence of isotope substitution of neon atom on the integral cross sections of rotational excitation in Ne-Na2 collisions

This paper applies the multiple ellipsoid model to the 16 Ne (20 Ne,28 Ne,34 Ne)-Na 2 collision systems,and calculates integral cross sections for rotational excitation at the incident energy of 190 meV.It can be seen that the accuracy of the integral cross sections can be improved by increasing the number of equipotential ellipsoid surfaces.Moreover,by analysing the differences of these integral cross sections,it obtains the change rules of the integral cross sections with the increase of rotational angular quantum number J,and with the change of the mass of isotope substitution neon atom.Finally,the contribution of different regions of the potential to inelastic cross sections for 20 Ne-Na 2 collision system is investigated at relative incident energy of 190 meV.     

Electron-spin-dependent 4He+ ion scattering on Bi surfaces

We studied low-energy (～ 1.55 keV) electron-spin-polarized ⁴He⁺ ion scattering on a Bi(111) ultrathin film epitaxially grown on a Si(111) substrate. We observed that the scattered ion intensity differed between the incident He⁺ ions with up and down spins even though Bi is a non-magnetic element. To analyze the origin of this spin-dependent ion scattering (the spin asymmetry), we investigated the detailed relationship between the spin asymmetry and the incident angle, the azimuthal angle, the scattering angle, and the incident energy. All the data indicate that the spin asymmetry originates from the scattering cross section owing to the non-central force in the He⁺–Bi atom binary collision. The non-central force is most likely attributed to the spin–orbit coupling that acts transiently on the He⁺ 1s electron spin in the binary collision.     

Correlations between emerging alpha-particles and heavy ions in 32S+197 Au collisions

In-plane angular correlations between α-particles and projectile residue nuclei (Z=5?22) emerging from ³²S+¹⁹⁷Au collisions have been measured at 373 MeV incident energy. In the combined Coulomb field of the projectile residue and the target nucleus coincident α-particles are strongly focused into a narrow cone. Model calculations indicate that α-emission originates from the region of the projectile which is facing the target nucleus during the collision.     

Experimental study of the subthreshold production of K +-mesons in proton-nucleus collisions

Energy dependence of the differential cross sections for the production of K ⁺-mesons with a momentum of 1.28 GeV/c (c is the speed of light) by protons incident on Be, Al, Cu, and Ta nuclei was measured for energies both above and below the K ⁺-meson production threshold in pp collisions. Evidence is given for the dominance of the mechanism of direct production in the experiment. The characteristics of momentum distribution are determined for nucleons in the Be and Al nuclei up to 650 MeV/c. The data cannot be described in the model of nuclear spectral function.

Dissociative recombination of electrons and O 2 + molecular ions in the field of intense visible laser radiation

We analyze the low-temperature dissociative recombination reaction e ^?+O ₂ ⁺ → O(¹ D)+O(³ P) in the field of visible monochromatic laser radiation. The analysis is performed in terms of the multichannel quantum defect theory using the stationary formalism of the radiative collision matrix. We calculate the dependences of the reaction cross section on the incident electron energy, the external electromagnetic field strength and frequency, and also the angle between the directions of the electron beam and the electric vector for linearly polarized radiation. The cross section is shown to increase by several orders of magnitude for a certain choice of these parameters, suggesting the possible laser stimulation of this reaction.     

Negative binomials and multiplicity distributions in 250 GeV/cK + and π+ interactions on Al and Au nuclei

The negative binomial distribution (NBD) is fitted to all charged and to negative particle multiplicity distributions in restricted rapidity intervals, both in the forward and backward c.m. hemispheres of positive meson interactions on Al and Au nuclei. For negative particle multiplicity distributions, the NBD parameters are also determined as a function ofn _g, the number of grey tracks, corresponding to varying number of intranuclear collisions. The data are interpreted in terms of the clan picture of Giovannini and Van Hove and compared to the MCMHA and Fritiof models. Both models reproduce quite well the global multiplicity distributions, but not when sub-samples are considered with fixed number of grey tracks. Regularities are better visible on the parton than on the particle level.     

Particle production in hadron-nucleus collisions at 100 GeV from a parton-string model

We calculate the inclusive momentum distribution of particles produced in a hadron-nucleus (hA) collision. The exchange of colour between the projectile and target nucleons leads to the formation of colour strings which are assumed to fragment like strings formed in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering. Making a few basic hypotheses we consistently and parameterfree describe the projectile fragmentation region in collisions of the typehA→h′X withh=p, π⁺ andh′=p, π⁺, π^? at 100 GeV incident energy.     

Analysis of cosmic ray data on nucleon-nucleus collisions and its implication on high energy behaviour of nucleon-nucleon total cross section

From existing cosmic ray measurements of theinelastic collision cross sections of nucleons on nuclei of carbon, iron and lead in the range of energies 10² to 10⁴ GeV as well as the measurements of cross sections on air nuclei in the extensive air shower (EAS) regions (10⁵ to 10⁸ GeV), we conclude that the Glauber multiple scattering theory is adequate to account for the data. Recent suggestion of Maor and Nussinov to parametrize the nucleon-nucleon total cross section with a component growing proportional to ln² E (E is the incident energy) is at variance with the EAS data. However the data are consistent with a nucleon-nucleon total cross section rising no faster than lnE in these energy regions.     

Systematic study of multiparticle production in nucleus–nucleus interactions at 14.6 A GeV

An experimental analysis of 855 events induced by 14.6 A GeV ²⁸Si in nuclear emulsion is presented. Mean multiplicities of charged secondary particles produced in the nuclear interactions are studied and compared with the results from the other experiments for the same projectile at 3.7 A GeV as well as data for proton at similar energy (14 GeV). An analysis of pseudorapidity densities of target fragments (black and grey particles) is also performed. The behaviour of the KNO scaling law of the multiplicity distribution for shower particles has been examined. In order to accumulate knowledge about the intermittent behaviour of shower particles, the scaled factorial moments (SFMs) are computed in η-space and ?-space for a set of data in the ²⁸Si–AgBr events. Furthermore, validity of limiting fragmentation of shower particles produced in central collision events induced by ²⁸Si-emulsion interactions has been tested. A crude estimation for the energy density of the nuclear matter formed in the central collision events at our energy has been examined.     

The energy dependence of single particle spectra in e+e− annihilation

We present explicit predictions of the statistical bootstrap model for inclusive single particle spectra in e⁺e^? annihilation. The distribution (ω/σ_tot·E) (dσ/p² dp) is found to become, for E ? 3 GeV, a function only of the secondary energy ω, independent of the incident e⁺d^? energy E.     

Subthreshold and near-threshold K +-meson photoproduction on nuclei

The inclusive K ⁺-meson production in photon-induced reactions in the near-threshold and subthreshold energy regimes is analyzed for the one-step (γN → K ⁺ Y, Y=Λ, Σ) incoherent production processes on the basis of an appropriate new folding model that takes properly into account the struck-target nucleonremoval energy and the internal momentum distribution (nucleon spectral function), extracted from recent quasielastic-electron-scattering experiments and from many-body calculations based on realistic models of NN interaction. Simple parametrizations of the total and differential cross sections for K ⁺ production in photon-nucleon collisions are presented. A comparison of the model calculations of the K ⁺ differential cross sections for γ¹²C interactions in the threshold region with existing experimental data is given, which displays the contributions to K ⁺ production at considered incident energies from the use of the single-particle part, as well as high momentum and high removal energy part, of the nucleon spectral function. Detailed predictions for the K ⁺ total and differential cross sections for γ²H, γ¹²C, and γ²⁰⁸Pb interactions at subthreshold and near-threshold energies are provided. The effect of the uncertainties in the elementary K ⁺-production cross sections on the K ⁺ yield is explored.

Electron impact excitation of the resonance transitions of highly ionized atoms of the Be-, Mg-, and Zn-isoelectronic sequences

Electron impact excitation collision strengths for the ns²¹S - nsnp¹P resonance transitions of highly ionized Be, Mg, and Zn-like ions have been computed in the distorted wave approximation, including the effects of exchange and target state correlation. Good agreement is observed between these data and collision strengths computed in the Coulomb-Born and Born approximations at high incident energies. Analytic fits to the distorted wave data are presented.
