Abstract

Two recent measurement programs have yielded an extensive body of neutron total cross-section data for a number of targets at energies up to 500 MeV. Recently, it has been shown that the simple Ramsauer model provides a good description of the data up to 120 MeV. The parameterization developed in this energy region did not do as well above this energy. The data in the region 100 {<=} E{sub n} {<=} 500 MeV are examined, and it is concluded that a simple parameterization can describe the data well. The applicability of the Glauber model is tested in the energy region above 150 MeV.

Application of a Simple Ramsauer Model for Neutron Total Cross Sections for Nuclear Mass Numbers A < 40

Journal Article Grimes, S; Anderson, J; Bauer, R - Nuclear Science and Engineering

A recent paper discussed fits of the nuclear Ramsauer model to total neutron cross sections for mass numbers A > 40 and for neutron energies between 6 and 60 MeV. These results are extended to nuclei of mass <40. A reasonably simple parameterization is found that gives a good representation of a recent set of precision data in this mass range. Particular emphasis is placed on the elements of biological importance: carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen.
Total (elastic+absorption) cross sections for e-CH/sub 4/ collisions in a spherical model at 0. 10--500 eV

Journal Article Jain, A - Phys. Rev. A; (United States)

Electron-CH/sub 4/ scattering is investigated in a wide energy range (0.1--500 eV) by using a previously proposed spherical model (A. Jain, J. Chem. Phys. 81, 724 (1984)). The study is divided into three energy regions: the 0.1--1.0-eV region, where a well-known minimum occurs in the total cross section (Ramsauer-Townsend (RT) effect), between 2 and 20 eV, with a d-wave broad structure around 7--8 eV, and from 20 to 500 eV, where inelastic channels (mainly ionization and dissociation) dominate over the elastic process. It is shown that a simple model, in which the total optical complex potential is spherical, is capablemore »« less

Measurement of antineutron-proton total and annihilation cross sections from 100 to 500 MeV/c

Journal Article Armstrong, T; Chu, a; Clement, b; ... - Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

Total and annihilation n-barp cross sections from 100 to 500 MeV/c are reported, the first such measurements with good statistics in this momentum range. These cross sections are well represented by A+B/p, where p is the incident antineutron momentum, and are in agreement with previous n-barp and p-barn measurements. A comparison of these cross sections with phenomenological potential model calculations is good overall. However, the microscopic quark model gives unsatisfactory predictions. The agreement between previous p-barp annihilation cross sections and n-barp cross sections above 300 MeV/c is excellent. The total n-barp cross section is lower than the total p-barp crossmore »« less

Application of simple ramsauer model to neutron total cross sections

Conference Bauer, R; Anderson, J; Grimes, S; ...

The simple nuclear Ramsauer model has been used successfully to fit neutron cross sections for three decades, but has not been widely used because the foundations of the model seem to be so unrealistic. We have shown that the Glauber calculations with the inclusion of refraction and optical model calculations essentially validate this simple model for neutron total cross sections in the neutron energy range of 5-50 MeV. This model yields a simple formula for parameterizing the energy dependence of the neutron cross section. We have applied the model to nuclei ranging from vanadium to bismuth.
