Impact parameter structure derived from elastic collisions

High - energy elastic hadron collisions and space structure of hadrons

The elastic and inelastic profiles have been derived from the measured elastic differential cross section data with the help of exact impact parameter representation of elastic scattering amplitude. The results obtained for pp scattering at energy of 53 GeV and ¯ pp scattering at energy of 541 GeV have been presented. They indicate that nucleons can be regarded as objects characterized by a sma...

Sticky elastic collisions.

The effects of purely elastic collisions on the dynamics of heavy inertial particles are investigated in a three-dimensional random incompressible flow. It is shown that the statistical properties of interparticle separations and relative velocities are strongly influenced by the occurrence of sticky elastic collisions-particle pairs undergo a large number of collisions against each other durin...

Elastic e-NO collisions.

In this paper we use the Schwinger multichannel method ~SMC! to calculate several types of cross sections related to the elastic electron scattering by NO. We show through the NO system that the elastic scattering of an electron by an open shell molecule is a much richer process than the corresponding scattering by closed shell targets. We present cross sections for unpolarized electron scatter...

Recoil ions from near-zero-impact-parameter H+-Xe collisions in the range 20-70 keV.

A boost to low energy nuclear reactions from preliminary elastic collisions ( Carambole collisions )

In conventional nuclear experiments a beam of accelerated nuclei collides with a target nucleus that is surrounded by other nuclei in a molecule, or in condensed matter, or in plasma environment. It is shown that for low collision energies the nuclear reaction is strongly boosted by the environment. The effect originates from a chain of preliminary three elastic collisions which transform the p...
