Neutron Cross-Section Measurements at 4.5 Bev

Neodymium neutron cross section measurements.

Neutron capture and transmission measurements were performed by the time-of-flight technique at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute LINAC using metallic neodymium samples. The capture measurements were made at the 25-m-long flight station with a 16-segment NaI(Tl) multiplicity detector, and the transmission measurements were performed at 15 and 25 m flight stations with a 6Li glass scintillati...

Cross Section Measurements at Belle

The unprecedented integrated luminosity of the KEKB electron-positron collider enables the study of rare particle production processes and the high statistics analysis of particle properties in hithereto inaccesable detail. Three such analyses by the Belle collaboration examplary for the opportunities opening up at the B-factories will be described in this article : The Measurement of cross sec...

Inclusive Jet Cross-section Measurements at Cdf

The measurement of the inclusive jet cross section at the Tevatron is an important test of perturbative QCD (pQCD) predictions over more than 8 orders of magnitude, probing distances down to 10m. The increased center-of-mass energy in Run II (from 1.8 TeV to 1.96 TeV), the highly upgraded CDF detector1, and the amount of data collected allow jet measurements in an extended region of jet transve...

Single-top Cross Section Measurements at ATLAS

The single-top production cross section is one third that of the top-pair production cross section at the LHC. During the first year of data taking, assuming an average luminosity of 10cms and a CMS energy of 14 TeV, the determination of the major contributions to the total single-top cross section should be achievable. Comparisons between the measured cross sections and the theoretical predict...
