Inclusive proton spectra and total reaction cross sections for proton-nucleus scattering at 800 MeV
Current applications of multiple scattering theory to describe the elastic scattering of medium energy protons from nuclei have been shown to be quite successful in reproducing the experimental cross sections. These calculations use the impulse approximation, wherein the scattering from individual nucleons in the nucleus is described by the scattering amplitude for a free nucleon. Such an approximation restricts the inelastic channels to those initiated by nucleon-nucleon scattering. As a first step in determining the nature of p + nucleus scattering at 800 MeV, both total reaction cross sections and (p,p') inclusive cross sections were measured and compared to themore » -
Hadron - Nucleus Scattering at 70-GeV/c, 125-GeV/c and 175-GeV/c and a High Statistics Study of Hadron - Proton Elastic Scattering at 200-GeV/c
Results of two studies of small angle elastic scattering are presented. The first experiment measured hadron-nucleus elastic scattering at 70, 125, 175 GeV/c incident momentum. The second experiment is a high statistics study of hadron-proton elastic scattering at 200 GeV/c incident momentum. Hadron-nucleus elastic scattering was measured formore » -
Studies of the nucleon-nucleus first-order optical potential
Microscopic first-order optical potential calculations of intermediate energy proton-nucleus elastic scattering are made using the Kerman, McManus, and Thaler multiple-scattering theory. Comparisons are made between various on-shell (local) prescriptions for the factorization of the folding integral, with both local and nonlocal off-shell prescriptions. All calculations are purely microscopic, parameter free, and performed entirely with the momentum-space representation. In particular, the Lippmann-Schwinger integral equation is solved using relativistic kinematics. A computer code, WIZARD 1, is developed to handle all aspects of the calculations. The first-order optical potential calculations employ the realistic free nuclon-nucleon t-matrix models of Love-Franey and Picklesimer-Walker, along withmore » -
Study of the pion-nucleus optical potential
The optical potential model is a convenient means of characterizing the interaction of the pion with the nucleus. Its simplicity makes it practical for the calculation of elastic scattering and pion distorted waves for more complicated processes. Its success in reproducing the early pion data and the existence of new, higher quality data motivate the present investigation. An optical potential for pion-nucleus interactions in the energy range 0 to 250 MeV pion kinetic energies is constructed with the Watson multiple scattering series and the ..pi..N transition amplitude as starting point. The pion-nucleon to pion-nucleus center of mass transformation is calculatedmore »
