πo photoproduction on quasi-free neutrons in the reaction γd → πo np in the Δ region

The possibility of obtaining information about the reaction γn → π^on in the Δ resonance region from the reaction γd → π^onp is analyzed. To this aim, the differential cross sections d³σ/dE_ndΩ_πdΩ_n both for unpolarized particles and in case of polarized photons and deuterons as well as the asymmetry Σ for linearly-polarized photons are calculated at photon energies from 250 to 400 MeV in the diagrammatic approach. The contributions from the pole diagrams as well as one-loop diagrams both with n-p and π-N-rescattering are taken into account. The main contribution to the differential cross sections of π^o photoproduction on the neutron in the quasi-free kinematics arises from the neutron pole diagram. The correction due to n-p rescattering decreases with increasing pion angle and becomes to be less than 8% at Θ_π ≥ 90°. The contributions of the proton pole diagram and the one of π -N rescattering were found to be negligible. Background effects are more pronounced in the case of the asymmetry Σ. However, they are also strongly suppressed in the neutron quasi-free kinematics at photon energies above 300 MeV.

Experimental results on diffractive one-pion production at the CERN ISR

New experimental results are reported on diffractive dissociation of protons into (nπ⁺) in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\text{s}\text{= 45}\text{GeV}$. The data were obtained using the Split-Field-Magnet detector at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings. We have searched for resonance contributions and found peaks at mass values of 1.5 GeV, 1.65 GeV, and 2.1 GeV. A dip in $\text{d}\text{σ}\text{d}\text{t}$ is observed at low t and low mass; it is most pronounced for events with neutrons emitted at 90° in the Gottfried-Jackson frame. The correlation between mass and slope depends strongly on θ_J. The cross section of the channel pp → pnπ⁺ is 400 ± 110 μb at $\text{s}\text{= 45}\text{GeV}$, giving an energy dependence of s^?0.30±0.07 for isospin exchange zero in this channel.     

Nuclear resonance fluorescence in121Sb

Usingγ quanta from a⁵⁶Co source, resonance fluorescence from a 3,452 keV level in¹²¹Sb was observed. Four deexcitingγ transitions were identified. The profile of theγ emission line, investigated by means of a high speed centrifuge, yields with a novel variety of Doppler shift analysis a lifetime of τ_4,298=(110±50)fs for theγ emitting 4,298 keV level in⁵⁶Fe. The lifetime of the 3,452 keV level was determined to beτ _3,452 =(200±100)fs.     

Indikation der Sulfat-F?llungstitration mit Mischoxidelektroden und Anwendung der Methode auf die Schwefelbestimmung in Brennstoffen sowie auf die Sulfatbestimmung in W?ssern

Zusammenfassung Es wird eine neue potentiometrische Methode zur Indikation von Sulfat-Fällungstitrationen in gemischten Lösungsmitteln vorgestellt. Grundlage ist die Ladungstrennung, die unter geeigneten Bedingungen durch selektive Sulfatadsorption auf Oxidoberflächen erfolgt, also im Gegensatz zur üblichen Potentiometrie ein rein kapazitiver Effekt.Der Endpunkt läßt sich mit zwei unterschiedlich vorbehandelten, gleichartigen Elektroden, die zeitlich versetzt die zusätzliche Doppelschichtkapazität abbauen, als Potentialpeak anzeigen. Man kann aber auch eine aktive Oxidelektrode mit einer adsorptionsinaktiven glassy-carbon-Elektrode kombinieren und erhält dann eine stufenförmige Endpunktsanzeige.Die PbSO₄-Fällung gibt höhere und schärfere Signale als die BaSO₄-Fällung, wird aber chemisch stärker gestört als letztere.Anwendungen der Methode auf reale Proben werden besprochen und statistisch charakterisiert.Herrn Prof. Dr. Fritz Umland zum 60. Geburtstag gewidmet     

Fast deuterium molecules desorbing from metals

The velocity distribution of D₂ desorbing from Pd(100) reveals the existence of two distinct groups of molecules, fast and slow ones. A new mechanism is proposed for the desorption of the molecules belonging to the fast group: after diffusing to the surface, absorbed D atoms recombine directly, without equilibrating in the chemisorption well. The fast molecules observed in the D₂ desorption spectra from Cu and Ni seem to desorb through the same mechanism. In the case of Pd this mechanism is controlled by adsorbed sulphur.     

A study of the charge-exchange reaction pp → nΔ++(1232) at ISR energies

We report on a study of the charge-exchange reaction pp → nΔ⁺⁺(1232) at the CERN intersecting storage rings (ISR) in the energy range √s = 23 to 53 GeV. From our analysis of the energy dependence of the total cross-section, of the differential cross-section dσ/dt and of the decay angular distributions we find evidence that pion exchange is dominant up to √s = 23 GeV and that (?+A₂) exchange dominates the reaction for √s ? 30 GeV, as described by simple Regge-pole models.
