Measurement of the ratio of total and differential cross sections on neutrons and protons for charged-current neutrino events

Charged-current neutrino interactions have been analysed in a sample of pictures from BEBC equipped with a TST. Using a method independent of both the neutrino flux and nuclear interaction corrections, the ratio R= σ_n/σ_p has been measured. The result is R=1.98±0.19 for the ratio of total cross sections. Bjorken x distributions for proton and neutron targets and for u and d quarks are compared.

On the calculation of scattering cross sections from absorption cross sections

A dispersion-type relation between photon scattering and absorption cross sections is derived. It is shown that the relation gives the correct scattering cross section in the low and high frequency limits, and is consistent with the Kramers-Heisenberg formula in the vicinity of a resonance. The practical application of the relation is illustrated by calculations of the scattering cross section and refractive index of He and Ne at STP and dry air at 1200°K from known absorption cross section data. The method is useful for obtaining scattering cross sections, polarizabilities, and refractive indices at elevated temperatures.     

A new method in the theory of many-body scattering

New coupled equations for the transition (T) and reactance (K) operators for N-channel, many-body, rearrangement scattering are derived. The key to the new method is the channel coupling array W, which links the various rearrangement channels together. By specializing W to the class of channel permuting arrays, it is shown that the (N−1)st iterate of the kernel of the coupled equations is connected.     

Experimental study of differential cross sections dσdy in neutral current neutrino and antineutrino interactions

We present differential cross sections dσ/dy corrected for resolution and acceptance, for events induced by both the neutral- and charged-current interactions of neutrinos and antineutrinos. They are based on 8553 neutrino and 3578 antineutrino events obtained using the CHARM fine-grain calorimeter in the CERN 200 GeV narrow-band beam. From these differential cross sections we demonstrate that the coupling strength of the weak neutral current to the strange quark is compatible with being equal to that of the down quark. Assuming this equality we then describe the weak neutral current in terms of one parameter, sin²θ, which we find to be 0.222 ± 0.016. The charged-current differential cross sections yield values of the fractional momentum-weighted content of the nucleon for non-strange (0.12 ± 0.04) and strange (0.06 ± 0.04) sea quarks. Furthermore, from the strength of the allowed y² term in the neutral-current differential cross sections we put a limit of 3% on the presence of scalar or pseudoscalar contributions to the weak neutral current. This can alternatively be expressed in terms of the Callan-Gross violation parameter R, where we find R = 0 .10 ± 0.10.     

中高能电子被甲烷及氯代甲烷散射的总截面

利用可加性规则，使用HartreeFock波函数，采用由束缚原子概念修正过的复光学势（由静 电势、交换势、修正极化势及吸收势这四部分组成），在较大的能量(30—5000eV)范围内对 电子被甲烷及氯代甲烷（CH₄，CCl₄，CHCl₃，CH₂Cl₂和CH ₃Cl）散射的总截面进行了计算，且将计算结果与实验结果及其他理论计算 结果进行 了比较.结果表明，利用被束缚原子概念修正过的复光学势及可加性规则进行计算，所得结 果的精度要比利用未被束缚原子概念修正的复光学势及可加性规则进行计算得到的结果好很 多.因此，在复光学势中采用束缚原子概念可提高电子被分子散射的总截面的计算准确度. 关键词： 电子散射 可加性规则 束缚原子 总截面     

Target-spin effects on elastic scattering cross sections

It is shown, using a simple model and empirical results, that the odd-even differences in the scattering of He ions from ⁵⁹Co and ⁶⁰Ni can be explained as due to the scattering from the quadrupole moment which is allowed for the odd target nucleus but not the even.

Calculation of the ratio of isomeric cross sections

A new, more rigorous method for calculating the ratio of isomeric cross sections has been developed. The method is particularly valuable when the energy and spin distribution are known before the gamma rays populating the isomeric and ground states start to cascade. The usefulness of the method was demonstrated by applying it to the analysis of the ratio of isomeric cross sections in the ¹⁹⁶Hg(n,γ)¹⁹⁷Hg reaction, which was initiated by thermal neutrons.     

Experimental verification of Rayleigh scattering cross sections

The cavity-ringdown technique is applied to measure Rayleigh extinctions of Ar, N(2), and SF(6) in the 560-650-nm region at 294 K. It is shown that experimental and calculated Rayleigh scattering cross sections agree within an experimental uncertainty of 1% (for SF(6), 3%).     

Partonic scattering cross sections in the QCD medium

A medium modified gluon propagator is used to evaluate the scattering cross section for the process gg→gg in the QCD medium by performing an explicit sum over the polarizations of the gluons. We incorporate a magnetic screening mass from a non-perturbative study. It is shown that the medium modified cross section is finite, divergence free, and is independent of any ad-hoc momentum transfer cut-off parameters. The medium modified finite cross sections are necessary for a realistic investigation of the production and equilibration of the minijet plasma expected at RHIC and LHC.     

Neutron scattering lengths and cross sections of the barium isotopes

Coherent neutron scattering lengths and total cross sections have been measured for barium compounds and on isotopically enriched samples for neutron energies from 0.5 meV up to 132 eV using different techniques. From the experimental data the following quantities were obtained:

the coherent scattering lengths (in fm) of Ba (5.07±0.03) and of the isotopes with mass numbers 130 (?3.6±0.6); 132 (7.8±0.3); 134 (5.7±0.1); 135 (4.66±0.10); 136 (4.90 ±0.08); 137 (6.82±0.10); and 138 (4.83±0.08).

the absorption cross sections σ_γ (at 0.025 eV in barn): of Ba (1.1±0.1) and of the isotopes: 130 (30±5); 136 (0.68±0.17); 137 (3.6±0.2); and 138 (0.27±0.14).

zero-energy scattering cross sections for Ba and the isotopes 136, 137 and 138. On the basis of these data, the isotopic- and spin-incoherent cross sections and the (s)-resonance contributions to the coherent scattering lengths have been determined and discussed.

Measurement of the νμ and νμ nucleon charged-current total cross sections,and the ratio of νμ neutron to νμ proton charged-current total cross sections

The total ν_μ and $\text{ν}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}$ nucleon charged-current cross sections have been measured in BEBC filled with deuterium and exposed to the wide-band neutrino and antineutrino beams at the CERN-SPS. Assuming a linear energy dependence for the cross sections, σ = aE(?_ν, we obtained the coefficients , where the quoted error is mainly systematic. The ratio of the cross sections is $\text{σ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>\nu </mtext><mtext>N</mtext>}}\text{/σ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>\nu </mtext><mtext>N</mtext>}}\text{= 0.53 ± 0.03}$.We also determined the ratio of the charged-current cross section for neutrino interactions on neutrons and protons R = σ_νn/σ_νp = 2.10 ± 0.08 (statistical) ±0.22 (sysetmatic). The dependence of R on the variables x, y and E_ν is discussed.     

Fast-neutron total and scattering cross sections of elemental titanium

Energy-averaged total neutron cross sections of elemental titanium are measured from ? 1.0 to 4.5 MeV with statistical accuracies of ? 1%. Differential elastic neutron-scattering angular distributions are measured from 1.5 to 4.0 MeV at incident energy intervals of ≦ 0.2 MeV. Differential cross sections for the inelastic neutron excitation of “states” in titanium at 158 ± 26, 891 ± 8, 984 ± 15, 1428 ± 39, 1541 ± 30, 1670 ± 80, 2007 ± 8, 2304 ± 22, 2424 ± 16 and 2615 ± 10 keV are measured in the incident-neutron energy range 1.5 to 4.0 MeV. Neutrons corresponding to additional states at approximately 2845 and 3010 keV were qualitatively observed. The experimental results are interpreted in terms of an energy-averaged optical-statistical and coupled-channels models including consideration of collective vibrations. The implications of these models and their use in the context of strong fluctuating structure are discussed.
