The Gift

The indirect Fourier transformation (IFT) is the method of choice for the model-free evaluation of small-angle scattering data. Unfortunately, this technique is only useful for dilute solutions because, for higher concentrations, particle interactions can no longer be neglected. Thus an advanced technique was developed as a generalized version, the so-called generalized indirect Fourier transformation (GIFT). It is based on the simultaneous determination of the form factor, representing the intraparticle contributions, and the structure factor, describing the interparticle contributions. The former can be determined absolutely free from model assumptions, whereas the latter has to be calculated according to an adequate model. In this paper, various models for the structure factor are compared,e.g.the effective structure factor for polydisperse hard spheres, the averaged structure factor, the local monodisperse approximation and the decoupling approximation. Furthermore, the structure factor for polydisperse rod-like particles is presented. As the model-free evaluation of small-angle scattering data is an essential point of the GIFT technique, the use of a structure factor without any influence of the form amplitude is advisable, at least during the first evaluation procedure. Therefore, a series of simulations are performed to check the possibility of the representation of various structure factors (such as the effective structure factor for hard spheres or the structure factor for rod-like particles) by the less exact but much simpler averaged structure factor. In all the observed cases, it was possible to recover the exact form factor with a free determined parameter set for the structure factor. The resulting parameters of the averaged structure factor have to be understood as apparent model parameters and therefore have only limited physical relevance. Thus the GIFT represents a technique for the model independent evaluation of scattering data with a minimum ofa prioriinformation.

Proton Radius Puzzle

The relationship between the static electric form factor for the proton in the rest frame and the Sachs electric form factor in the Breit momentum frame is used to provide a value for the difference in the mean squared charge radius of the proton evaluated in the two frames. Associating the muonic–hydrogen data analysis for the proton charge radius of 0.84087 fm with the rest frame and associating the electron scattering data with the Breit frame yields a prediction of 0.87944 fm for the proton radius in the relativistic frame. The most recent value deduced via electron scattering from the proton is 0.877(6) fm so that the frame dependence used here yields a plausible solution to the proton radius puzzle.

AbstractSystematic calculations of the neutron-nucleus scattering parameters at several neutron energies Ei < 2 keV have been performed for 37 isotopes (6Li,... 59Co) in the mass region of 6 ≤ A ≤ 60, using the large compilation of experimental neutron-nucleus scattering data obtained in Garching. In the first stage of these calculations, the s-wave potential scattering radius R’, the scattering lengths bcoh, b±, and the bound state parameters (Eb, Γγ , gΓ0n) have been calculated for each isotope, employing the general least squares fit (GLSQF) for the experimental and the corresponding theoretical values of the total neutron-nucleus cross sections σexptot(Ei) at several energies Ei, absorption cross sections σabs(Eo) and of the coherent scattering lengths bcoh. The theoretical expressions for these parameters were deduced on the basis of the usual S-matrix formalism with no assumption about the particular shape of the optical model potential. In the second stage of our calculations, the spherical Fiedeldey- Frahn optical potential was employed for the pure theoretical description or the above mentioned neutron-nucleus scattering characteristics. The results obtained have been analyzed and compared with the values deduced from measurements.

Nuclear Effects

Recent experimental results and developments in the theoretical treatment of neutrino-nucleus interactions in the energy range of 1–10 GeV are discussed. Difficulties in extracting neutrino-nucleon cross sections from neutrino-nucleus scattering data are explained and significance of understanding nuclear effects for neutrino oscillation experiments is stressed. Detailed discussions of the status of two-body current contribution in the kinematic region dominated by quasielastic scattering and specific features of partonic nuclear effects in weak DIS scattering are presented.
