The total cross sections for the scattering of positrons by helium have been measured by the method of transmission in the 16 to 270 eV energy range. The experimental results are higher than those of Canter et al. but are in reasonable agreement with recent results of Griffith et al., and at high energies tend towards Born approximation calculations. The integral of the cross section over positron momentum is smaller than the sum rule estimate made by Bransden et al. A tentative value of (0.034 ± 0.017)πa02 is assigned to the positronium formation cross section at threshold.

The total cross sections for the π+π− photoproduction on the deuteron were measured in an energy range of 0.8 to 1.1 GeV. The obtained total cross section for the quasi-free π+π− photoproduction on the deuteron was about 60 % of those on the free proton. The cross section for Δ++Δ− photoproduction was derived from the non-quasi-free π+π− photoproduction events. It was smaller than the previous data.

Absolute total cross sections for single-electron-capture are measured for [Formula: see text] and N+ ions traversing N2 molecular gas of collision energies in the range of 0.60 to 1.5 keV. These cross sections are found to be in the range of 3.97 - 6.25 Å2 for [Formula: see text] ions, and in the range of 0.46 - 1.67 Å2 for N+ ions. A comparison is made between the present measurements of the total cross sections of the N+ + N2 system and all the experimental results, which are represented by B. G. Lindsay et al.,1 for the O+ + N2 system. The present measurements of the total cross section of the N+ + N2 system are in partial agreement with measurements of B. G. Lindsay et al.,1 and in an excellent agreement with the measurements of Moran et al.,2 The present measurements of the total cross sections of the [Formula: see text] system are compared to the theoretical calculations and the experimental results of the same system.23 The results are in disagreement with each other.

The total cross sections for positrons on neon and argon atoms have been measured in the energy ranges 15 eV to 272.5 eV and 25 eV to 300 eV respectively. The cross sections indicate clearly that Born values will not be reached until at least 3 KeV. Interpolating between the measured and the valid Born regions has allowed an application of the sum rule which connects scattering length. Born forward scattering amplitude, and the momentum-integral over the total cross section. This procedure gives scattering lengths as = −0.53 ± 0.15 Bohr radii for neon and as = −2.8 ± 0.7 Bohr radii for argon; the errors include maximum credible uncertainties in the interpolations.

The Li (i = l, α, β, γ) X-ray production cross section and Lα/Ll, Lα/Lβ, Lα/Lγ, Ll/Lβ, Ll/Lγ, and Lβ/Lγ intensity ratio values for Yb, Ta, W, Hg, Tl, Pb, Bi, Th, and U have been determined using an excitation geometry at 59.54 keV incident photon energy. The measurements were performed using an Am-241 annular radioactive source and a high resolution Si(Li) detector. The experimental results of Li X-ray production cross sections and intensity ratios were compared with three different theoretical results and other available experimental results in the literature. Reasonable agreement is typically observed between the present and theoretical results.


A thin gas target was used to measure the absolute cross-section and angular distribution of α -particles from the two ‘ mirror ’ reactions D– 3 H and D– 3 He for deuteron energies below 45 keV. The reactions were found to be isotropic and the variations of the total cross-sections over the energy range 20 to 45 keV can be expressed by the simple Gamow theory of penetration of the coulomb barrier. The simple theory assuming the same energy-independent nuclear parameters for the mirror nuclei 3 H and 3 He was unable to account for the observed cross-sections of these two reactions.

In this paper, one presents a naive parametrization to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] total cross-sections. The main goal of this parametrization is to study the possible fractal structure present in the total cross-section. The result of the fitting procedure shows two different fractal dimensions: a negative (low-energies) and a positive (high-energies). The negative fractal dimension represents the emptiness of the total cross-section structure and the positive represents the filling up process with the energy increase. Hence, the total cross-section presents a multifractal behavior. At low-energies, the odderon exchange may be associated with the negative fractal dimension and at high-energies, the pomeron may be associated with the positive fractal dimension. Therefore, the exchange of odderons and pomerons may be viewed as a transition from a less well-defined to a more well-defined internal structure, depending on the energy.

We show that the rising total cross-sections σ(γγ→ hadrons) recently observed by the L3 and OPAL collaborations at LEP are fully consistent with the impact-picture for high-energy scattering. The impact picture is then used to predict this γγ total cross-section at higher energies, and confirm the universal increase of total cross-sections including those of pp, [Formula: see text] and γp.


An expression for the cross-section for K -shell ionization of atoms by electrons is obtained by using Moller’s relativistic modification of the Born approximation. Results are presented for the elements with atomic numbers less than 30. For nickel the calculated cross-sections are in good agreement with those measured by Kirkpatrick and his collaborators, a marked improvement due to the allowance for relativistic effects being found at high energies of impact. The normalization of the wave function of the ejected electron is discussed in the appendix.
