نویسنده
چکیده
The neutron-proton bremsstrahlung process (np → npγ) is known to be sensitive to meson exchange currents in the nucleon-nucleon interaction. The triply differential cross section for this reaction has been measured for the first time at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center, using an intense, pulsed beam of up to 700 MeV neutrons to bombard a liquid hydrogen target. Scattered neutrons were observed at six angles between 12 and 32, and the recoil protons were observed in coincidence at 12, 20, and 28 on the opposite side of the beam. Measurement of the neutron and proton energies at known angles allows full kinematic reconstruction of each event. The data are compared with predictions of two theoretical calculations, based on relativistic soft-photon and non-relativistic potential models.

We investigate the possibility that the process of ρ 0-meson photoproduc-tion on proton, γ + p → p + ρ 0 , in the near threshold region E γ < 2 GeV, can be considered in the framework of model with π-, σ-and N-exchanges. This suggestion is based on a study of the t-dependence of differential cross section, dσ(γp → pρ 0)/dt, which has been measured by SAPHIR Collaboration. We find that the sugge...

The cross section for the production of ω mesons in proton-proton collisions has been measured in a previously unexplored region of incident energies. Cross sections of σ = (7.5± 1.9)μb and σ = (30.8± 3.4) μb (with 20% systematic uncertainties) were extracted at 92 MeV and 173 MeV excess energy, respectively. The angular distribution of the ω at ǫ = 173 MeV is strongly anisotropic, demonstratin...

The present status of neutron-proton scattering in the energy range from 20-70 MeV is reviewed. The data base covers total cross sections, differential cross sections and polarization observables. The efforts after 1980 did largely cnncentrate on precision measurements of the differential cross sections and accurate vector analyzing powers, using polarized neutron beams. Because of correlations...

The differential cross section for quasi-elastic electron-deuteron scattering has been measured at the Cambridge Electron Accelerator in the four-momentum-transfer region from 7 to 115 PfC0.27 to 4.47 (Bev/~)~] . The method used involved a coincidence between scattered electrons and recoiling protons. Electrons without a high-energy proton in coincidence were assumed to be due to a neutron inte...
