Sensitivity of Photoneutron Production to Perturbations in Cross-Section Data

Sensitivity of Photoneutron Production to Perturbations in Cross-Section Data

The most recent release of photonuclear interaction data for Monte Carlo applications is the ENDF/B-VII library. While this current version offers several improvements over its predecessors, it does not address the observed, sometimes quite significant variance in the measured data. For instance, for U, the cross-section data in the ENDF/B-VII library is consistently larger than all measurement...

Extracting the dipole cross-section from photo- and electro-production total cross-section data

We report on a successful attempt to extract the cross-section for the high-energy scattering of colour dipoles of fixed transverse size off protons using electroproduction and photoproduction total crosssection data, subject to the constraint provided by the ratio of the overall photon dissociation cross-section to the total cross-section. 13.60.Hb, 25.20.Lj, 25.30.Rw, 13.38.-t, 24.85.+p, 12.4...

Top Quark Production Cross Section

The production rate for top quarks at the Fermilab Tevatron is presented using the exact order α 3 s corrected cross section and the resummation of the leading soft gluon corrections in all orders of perturbation theory.
