production in proton-nucleus scattering at intermediate energies

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The present work is a study of production in proton-nucleus collisions at intermediate energies. The theory is based on the Glauber multiple scattering theory. For the elementary NN N process, we employ the amplitude decomposition by Silbar et al. and by Auger et al. The numerical values of the parameters involved are taken from the work of Kloet and Silbar. Two specific examples of nuclear targets are examined: /sup ++/ production in THe and WLi at 800 MeV. The effects of multiple scattering corrections on selected spin observables are studied in detail. In light of our results we discuss the possibilities of using nuclear reactions to obtain information on specific production amplitudes and on propagation through the nuclear medium.
