Low energy proton-proton scattering in effective field theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Low energy proton-proton scattering is studied in pionless effective field theory. Employing the dimensional regularization and MS and power divergence subtraction schemes for loop calculation, we calculate the scattering amplitude in S0 channel up to nextto-next-to leading order and fix low-energy constants that appear in the amplitude by effective range parameters. We study regularization scheme and scale dependence in separation of Coulomb interaction from the scattering length and effective range for the S-wave proton-proton scattering. PACS(s): 11.10.Gh, 13.75.Cs.

Impact of Various Beam Parameters on Lateral Scattering in Proton and Carbon-ion Therapy
Background: In radiation therapy with ion beams, lateral distributions of absorbed dose in the tissue are important. Heavy ion therapy, such as carbon-ion therapy, is a novel technique of high-precision external radiotherapy which has advantages over proton therapy in terms of dose locality and biological effectiveness.Methods: In this study, we used Monte Carlo method-based Geant4 toolkit to s...

Proton-proton fusion is considered in the effective field theory of Kaplan, Savage and Wise. Coulomb effects are included systematically in a non-perturbative way. Including the dimension-eight derivative coupling which determines the effective ranges of the scattering amplitudes, next-to-leading order corrections to the fusion rate are calculated. When the renormalization mass is well above th...
متن کاملImpact of range straggling and multiple scattering on proton therapy of brain, using a slab head phantom
Background: The advantages of proton beam in radiation therapy- like small lateral scattering as well as absence of exit dose tail in the organs which are after the tumor- make it capable of delivering more treatment doses to the target and much lesser to the critical tissues near it. Materials and Methods: In this study, the Monte Carlo MCNPX code has been used to simulate a slab head phantom ...
متن کاملCompton scattering from the proton in an effective field theory with explicit Delta degrees of freedom
We analyse the proton Compton-scattering differential cross section for photon energies up to 325 MeV using Chiral Effective Field Theory (χEFT) and extract new values for the electric and magnetic polarisabilities of the proton. Our approach builds in the key physics in two different regimes: photon energies ω ∼ mπ (“low energy”), and the higher energies where the ∆(1232) resonance plays a key...
