Construction of diffractive amplitudes

Starting from a simple parametrization of production amplitudes an explicit construction of the diffractive elastic amplitude through multiparticle unitarity is given. It is shown that the phase cancellation effect is essential in order to obtain an elastic amplitude which display a diffractive peak in qualitative agreement with the data.     

Production rates of excited fragment isotopes from the36Ar+Ag reaction at 35 MeV/nucleon

Previous studies showed that the binding energy plays a systematic and important role in the production of ground-state fragments in intermediate energy, heavy ion reactions. The production rates were measured as a function of fragment kinetic energy at angles of 15°, 30°, 45° and 60° for excited fragments of⁷Li,⁸Li,¹¹Be and¹²B. Using a thermal model the total production of neutron unbound excited states was determined, and it was found that their production rates correspond to the previous systematic behaviour using the binding energies corrected by the excitation energies.     

Particle emission in the hydrodynamical description of relativistic nuclear collisions

The usual particle emission scenario used in hydrodynamics presupposes that particles instantaneously stop interacting once they reach some three dimensional surface. Here we set up a new formalism to study continuous particle emission during the whole expansion of thermalized matter. This scenario changes completely the usual interpretation of transverse momentum spectra, may help to understand data on strange particle ratios and is possible to include in hydrodynamical codes.     

Molecular structures and hypochromism of two purinophanes

The structures of purinophane 1 and its higher homolog 2 were determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Hypochroism of 1 and 2 in various media reported.
