Qualitative Discussion

A cooled Ge(Li) detector has been used as a total-absorption proton counter for the energy analysis of 100 MeV protons scattered from a target of natural carbon. An overall energy resolution of 0.5 MeV to 0.6 MeV (FWHM) was achieved. The differential cross sections for the excitation of the 4.43, 7.66, 9.64, 10.8, 11.8, 12.7, 14.1, 15.1, and 16.1 MeV levels have been measured at nine angles from 10 to 60° (lab). The angular distributions for the 10.8, 11.8, and 14.1 MeV levels represent the first measured proton-scattering data for these levels in the intermediate energy region (> 50 MeV). A qualitative discussion of the excited states is presented, based mainly on the shapes of the angular distributions. At large scattering angles (> 30°), the angular distribution for the 0+ level at 7.66 MeV deviates significantly from 0+ angular distributions measured in 24Mg and 28Si, suggesting different mechanisms of excitation of 0+ states in the p and s–d shells.

AbstractFor one-neutron halo nuclei, the cross sections for elastic scattering and breakup at intermediate energy exhibit similar angular dependences. The Recoil Excitation and Breakup (REB) model of reactions elegantly explains this feature. It also leads to the idea of a new reaction observable to study the structure of loosely-bound nuclear systems: the Ratio. This observable consists of the ratio of angular distributions for different reaction channels, viz. elastic scattering and breakup, which cancels most of the dependence on the reaction mechanism; in particular it is insensitive to the choice of optical potentials that simulate the projectile-target interaction. This new observable is very sensitive to the structure of the projectile. In this article, we review a series of previous papers, which have introduced the Ratio Method and its extension to low beam energies and proton-halo nuclei.

Elastic Scattering Cross Section

The cross section for the direct radiative capture of protons by 16O has been measured relative to the proton elastic scattering cross section for energies from 800 to 2400 keV (CM). The elastic scattering cross section was normalized to the Rutherford scattering cross section at 385.5 keV. The capture cross section for the reaction 16O(p,γ)17F, which plays a role in hydrogen burning stars, has been extrapolated to stellar energies using a theoretical model which gives a good fit to the measured cross sections. The model involves calculation of electromagnetic matrix elements between initial and final state wave functions evaluated for Saxon–Woods potentials with parameters adjusted to fit both elastic scattering data and binding energies for the ground and first excited states of 17F. Cross sections for capture to the 5/2+ ground and 1/2+ first excited states of 17F in terms of astrophysical S factors valid for energies ≤ 100 keV have been found to be: S5/2+ = (0.317 + 0.0002E) keV b (± 8%); S1/2+ = (8.552 − 0.353E + 0.00013E2) keV b (± 5%).

Exact Calculations

The treatment of the distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA) for transfer reactions at high energies between complex nuclei due to Braun-Munzinger and Harney (1974) is simplified by introducing eikonal-like representations for the elastic scattering states. Simple expressions for the differential cross sections are derived. The model includes recoil approximately and takes into account the strong absorption of the nuclear cores. Reasonable values for the parameters of the model wavefunctions are determined by comparison with the usual optical model wavefunctions. Angular distributions calculated for the model are compared with the results of exact finite-range DWBA calculations and experimental data for transitions to the ground state and excited states of 13C in the reaction 12C(14N,13N)13C at several energies. The model reproduces the general features of the exact calculations, giving reasonable fits for the transitions to the ground state and the 1ds/2 (3�85 MeV) state. The transition to the 2S1/2 (3 �09 MeV) state appears to be anomalous as in the case of the full DWBA theory.

Natural Parity

The theoretical studies of (K−, π−) and (π+, K+) reactions on p-shell targets are presented in the DWIA framework with use of the elementary spin-nonflip and spin-flip amplitudes. Calculations can explain the available experimental data of excitation functions and angular distributions of the (K−, π−) reactions at pK−=800 MeV/c and the (π+, K+) reactions at pπ+ = 1.04 GeV/c. Characteristic and distinguished features of the excitation functions and cross sections are exhibited. Especially it is demonstrated that the (K−, π−) reactions at pK−=1.1 GeV/c and 1.5 GeV/c can excite the unnatural parity states with comparable strength to the natural parity ones. Further interesting is that the (π+, K+) and (K−, π−) reactions with ∼1 GeV/c incident beams can be shown to produce very large polarizations of the produced hypernuclear states. Taking the subsequent deexcitation processes of the excited states into account, we have evaluated the hypernuclear polarization and Λ-spin polarization of the ground state and/or the ground-doublet states at the hypernuclear weak-decay stage, which would play a role in the hypernuclear coincidence experiment.

An aluminum target was bombarded with 1.5 MeV protons and continuous x-rays were measured at the angles of 45°, 90° and 135° with respect to the beam direction. By investigating the shape of the x-ray energy spectrum, it was recognized that, the continuous x-rays below 12 keV are atomic bremsstrahlung (AB) and those of above 12 keV are nuclear bremsstrahlung (NB), and AB and NB are mingled in the energy region of around 12 keV The x-ray energy dependence of angular distributions presented well a change from the process of AB to that of NB in the continuous x-ray spectrum. Interference between AB and NB were discussed on the basis of PWBA theory. Continuous x-ray production cross sections were calculated on the basis of PWBA BEA and a semi-classical theory and compared with the experimental results. The theoretical prediction reproduced well the experimental cross sections over the wide range of 6 orders in magnitude and of 2 keV – 35 keV in the energy except for the energy region mingled with AB and NB. The ratio of the theoretical cross sections to the experimental ones showed an interference effect between AB and NB in their mingled region.

The absolute angular distributions for 20-Mev. protons elastically scattered by O16 and N14 were determined using the external beam of the frequency-modulated cyclotron at the University of California, Los Angeles. The distributions for the two elements were found to be similar except for the appearance of a more pronounced first minimum in the O16 distribution. The locations of the maxima and minima seem to indicate that simple diffraction effect is responsible for their presence. The cross sections range from about 1 barn per sterad. to 4 mb. per sterad. between 15° and 165° in the laboratory system. The standard deviations due to statistics range from [Formula: see text] to 10%.

Abstract As one of the simplest hadronic processes, $$\gamma \gamma \rightarrow M^{+}M^{-}$$γγ→M+M- ($$M=\pi ,K$$M=π,K) could be a good testing ground for our understanding of the perturbative and nonperturbative structure of QCD, and will be studied with high precision at BELLE-II in the near future. In this paper, we revisit these processes with twist-3 corrections in the perturbative QCD approach based on the $$k_{T}$$kT factorization theorem, in which transverse degrees of freedom as well as resummation effects are taken into account. The influence of the distribution amplitudes on the cross sections are discussed in detail. Our work shows that not only the transverse momentum effects but also the twist-3 corrections play a significant role in the processes $$\gamma \gamma \rightarrow M^{+}M^{-}$$γγ→M+M- in the intermediate energy region. Especially in the few GeV region, the twist-3 contributions become dominant in the cross sections. And it is noteworthy that both the twist-3 result of the $$\pi ^{+}\pi ^{-}$$π+π- cross section and that of the $$K^{+}K^{-}$$K+K- cross section agree well with the BELLE and ALEPH measurements. For the pion and kaon angular distributions, there still exist discrepancies between our results and the experimental measurements. Possible reasons for these discrepancies are discussed briefly.
