The cross section for that photoneutron reaction in 16O which leaves 15O in its ground state has been measured for photon energies ranging from 17 to 30 MeV, i.e. at energies corresponding to giant resonance excitations in 16O. Time-of-flight methods, yielding resolutions equal to 100 keV at a neutron energy of 6 MeV, were used to measure neutron spectra emitted at an angle of 98° when targets of ordinary and heavy water were irradiated with pulsed bremsstrahlung. The differential cross section at 22.3 MeV excitation was found to be 1.00 ±.05 mb/sr, assuming a photodisintegration cross section at 98° equal to 55.3 μb/sr (laboratory system) for deuterium, this latter value having been derived from calculations which have been substantiated experimentally to within ± 10%. The results are discussed with reference to other photodisintegration experiments and to recent theoretical work.

The analysis of the dα bidimensional spectra of the 7Li(3He, ααd) reaction at [Formula: see text] is a suitable way of calculating the absolute differential cross section and estimating the competition among the various (d, 8Be) and (α, 6Li) channels when the ground state, the 3.04-MeV 8Be states, and the 5.65-MeV 6Li state are involved.

The Lorentz-invariant differential cross section (LIDCS) for π production in heavy ion collisions was studied through the two-step process, NN→NΔ→NNπ. A phenomenological interaction potential containing central and tensor terms was used. The effect of inclusion of the tensor term on the LIDCS was little. The target nucleus 12C was excited to one of its giant resonance states, Jπ=1+, T=1, while the projectile nucleus 16O was excited to an isobar Δ (M=1232 MeV , ΓΔ=115.11 MeV ) which decayed (NΔ→NNπ), giving a nucleon and a pion mπ=138 MeV . In comparison with available experimental data, the shape was reproduced, but the theoretical results were higher.

The 90° differential cross section of the 9Be(d, γ0)11B reaction has been measured at deuteron energies from 3 to 12 MeV. The results of this experiment are consistent with a recent calculation of the dipole states of mass 11 nuclei, and with measurements of the 11B(γ, nγ′) and 11B(γ, pγ′) processes, and confirm the isospin splitting of the giant resonance in 11B.

The structure in the photoneutron cross sections of 16O and 208Pb has been studied by the measurement of high resolution photoneutron energy spectra using the neutron time-of-flight technique and bremsstrahlung irradiations. For 16O, the ground state differential cross section at 98° has been deduced between 17.3 and 28.5 MeV and is in good agreement with most previous studies. Fine structure is seen throughout the cross section. Eight neutron energy spectra for 208Pb from bremsstrahlung endpoint energies in the range 11.0 to 15.5 MeV were obtained. Strong peaks are seen at center of mass neutron energies of 1.67, 1.85, 2.06, 2.19, 2.68, 3.15, 3.27, 3.50, 3.77, and 4.03 MeV with weaker peaks elsewhere. The energies of these peaks are in good agreement with previous measurements in this laboratory. The energies of peaks in the spectra are compared with recent cross section measurements.

Differential cross section data for 100 MeV protons inelastically scattered from 6Li, 9Be, 12C, 24Mg, and 28Si are compared with the corresponding E2 and E3 transition rates and a strong correlation is shown to exist between (dσ/dΩ)max and Γγ0 if the shape of the proton angular distribution is characteristic of single excitation. The persistence of the correlation to transitions with Γγ0/Γγ < 0.1 allows an estimate of Γγ0 = 8.6 ± 5 × 10−4 eV for the 10.18 MeV, Jπ = 3−, level in 28Si.

Photoneutron spectra for transitions to the ground state in the giant resonance of 16O were measured with high neutron energy resolution (ΔE ~ 60 keV) at angles of 50, 66, 82, 98, 114, 130, and 146 degrees relative to the direction of the incident bremsstrahlung beam. The spectra at the various angles were measured during successive experimental runs using a single 50 m time-of-flight spectrometer. The different angles were obtained by bending the electron beam relative to the direction of the flight path. Angular normalization was achieved by using a fast neutron monitor located at the end of a short flight path which was always normal to the reaction plane. Legendre coefficients for the angular distributions were extracted as functions of the excitation energy. From the energy dependence of the coefficients, interference effects are evident in the ground state (γ,n) cross section in the region from 17 to 30 MeV.

The differential cross section for π+–p elastic scattering at 47.9 MeV has been measured in the angular range from 30 to 170° in the laboratory system. The three phase shifts extracted from these data, δS3 = −4.7 ± 0.5°, δP31 = −0.53 ± 0.14°, and δP33 = 5.1 ± 0.3°, are consistent with phase shifts obtained at other energies.

Recent theoretical work has shown that the complete set of polarized elastic light-scattering studies should yield information about scatterer structure that has so far hardly been utilized. We present here calculations of angular dependences of light-scattering matrix elements for spheres near the Rayleigh and Rayleigh-Gans-Debye limits. The significance of single matrix elements is documented on examples that show how different matrix elements respond to changes in particle parameters. It appears that in the small-particle limit (Rg/λ < 0.1) we do not loose much information by ignoring "large particle" observables.
