Investigations on the Application of the Monte Carlo Method in High-Energy Nuclear Physics Processes: Interaction of 4.5-Gev Negative Pions (Thesis); RECHERCHES SUR L'APPLICATION DE LA METHODE DE MONTE-CARLO DANS LES PROCESSUS DE PHYSIQUE NUCLEAIRE A HAUTE ENERGIE: INTERACTION DES PIONS NEGATIFS DE 4.5 Gev (THESE)
The applicability of the Monte Carlo method to the study of the interaction of negative pions at 4.5 Bev is investigated. The hypotheses at the basis of calculations on intranuclear cascades are reviewed. The principles of the Monte Carlo method and its adaptation to cascades of pi -nucleon collisions aredescribed. Elastic and inelastic processes are then studied. The results show that the Monte Carlo method is applicable without difficulty to collisions of the elastic type and to a cascade of such collisions. thus, the results relative to the coefficient of forbiddenness calculated for pions at 4.5 Bev are in excellent agreement with those obtained by a different method. The occurrence of inelastic collisions present some difficulties. It is necessary to use a treatment respecting both the spirit of the simulation method and the conditions of compatibility between conditions imposed by the dynamics. It was shown that a previous attempt has serious objections and an alternate approach was proposed. Curves and charts that can be used in the case of collisions of 4.5-Bev pions are presented. Their generalization to other particles and energies presents no difficulty. (J.S.R.)
