Nuclear Matrix Elements for Heavy Ion Sequential Double Charge Exchange Reactions

Charge exchange in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Elastic charge-exchange in relativistic heavy ion collisions is responsible for the non-disruptive change of the charge state of the nuclei. We show that it can be reliably calculated within the eikonal approximation for the reaction part. The formalism is applied to the charge-pickup cross sections of 158 GeV/nucleon Pb projectiles on several targets. The relative contributions of pionand rho-...

Modeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions

By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...

Heavy-ion charge exchange in the eikonal approximation

In high-energy collisions (E,,, > 50 MeV/nucleon) the eikonal approximation provides a transparent description of heavy-ion exchange reactions. The formalism is applied to the reaction ‘3N(‘3C, 13N)13C at 70 MeV/nucleon. The relative contributions of pionand rho-exchange are determined. It is found that heavy-ion reactions are more sensitive to the one-pion exchange component of the interaction...
