Abstract

The K-shell ionization probability, due to nuclear reactions like (n,n), (n,p), (p,p)... is calculated using a firstorder perturbation method. It is found that such a probability depends strongly on the life time of the intermediate nuclear state, and on the angle between the incoming and the outgoing particles. Graphs are presented to illustrate the general formulas and an evaluation of the experimental feasibility of the method is given for the particular case of the neutron elastic scattering. (auth)

Large resonance effect in K-shell ionization probability in elastic proton backscattering on /sup 138/Ba

Journal Article Spooner, D; Stoller, C; Chemin, J; ... - Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

We have measured the K-shell ionization probability P/sub K/ at 172/sup 0/ across the 10.00-MeV isobaric analog resonance in the reaction /sup 138/Ba(p,p) /sup 138/Ba. An excursion of more than 200% from the off-resonance P/sub K/ value permits a sensitive comparison with recently calculated atomic-ionization amplitudes. The effects of nonresonant background nuclear scattering and compound-elastic nuclear scattering are considered. The experimental results are found to be consistent with a negligible compound-elastic contribution.

Nuclear reaction times in the deep-inelastic U+U collision deduced from K-shell ionization probabilities

Journal Article Stoller, C; Nessi, M; Morenzoni, E; ... - Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

The K-shell ionization probability P/sub K/ of the uranium-like products has been measured in the deep-inelastic reaction U+U at a beam energy of 7.5 MeV/u as a function of the total kinetic energy loss -Q. P/sub K/ was determined for Q values down to -190 MeV. After the subtraction of the ionization induced by internal conversion of ..gamma.. rays, a strongly Q-dependent P/sub K/ is found in qualitative agreement with theoretical predictions. From the data we infer a nuclear reaction time of approximately 10/sup -21/s at Q = -100 MeV.

K-shell ionization probability in close collisions of 7--12-MeV protons with targets of Z = 24 --83

Journal Article Dost, M; Hoppenau, S; Kising, J; ... - Phys. Rev. A; (United States)

K-shell ionization probabilities were measured by the particle--x-ray coincidence technique for 7-MeV protons of 15 to 39 fm impact parameter on 24 targets from Cr to Bi. For 22 of these targets, total K-shell ionization cross sections are also reported. Additional K-shell ionization probabilities were measured for 7-, 10-, and 12-MeV protons on Mo, Cd, and Sn, at impact parameters down to 2 fm. While the total K-shell cross sections closely follow relativistic semiclassical (RSCA) calculations supplemented by minor binding-plus-polarization corrections, significant discrepancies of up to 70% occur for the K-shell ionization probabilities at small impact parameters, particularly for themore »« less

Time delay effects on K x-ray production probability in deep inelastic U + U and U + Pb nuclear reactions

Journal Article Nessi, M; Stoller, C; Morenzoni, E; ... - Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

If an atomic collision is accompanied by a deep inelastic nuclear reaction with a time delay ..delta..T, a phase change which affects the ionization probability P/sub K/ of the target- and projectile-like products is introduced between the incident and outgoing ionization amplitudes. In a deep inelastic nuclear reaction, the nuclear reaction time ..delta..T is monotonically related to the total kinetic energy loss (-Q) of the reaction products. Therefore a measurement of P/sub K/ as a function of Q then yields ..delta..T. The K-shell ionization probability P/sub K/ has been measured in the deep inelastic reactions U + U and Umore »« less

K-shell ionization in proton-barium collisions accompanied by resonance reactions

Miscellaneous Spooner, D

The effects of nuclear reactions on inner-shell ionization of atoms were studied with protons incident upon isotopically enriched barium targets. A cooled detector system, capable of identifying protons responsible for K-shell ionization in zero-impact-parameter collisions, was developed to measure coincidences between Ba x-rays and protons scattered to an angle of 172{degree}. Several aspects of atomic ionization were investigated by this method. A very large (>200%) variation of the K-shell ionization probability (P{sub k}) was observed in elastic scattering of protons from {sup 138}Ba as the proton energy was tuned across an isobaric analog resonance (IAR) at 10.0 MeV.
