Erratum: Neutron and proton spectra from the decay
نویسندگان
چکیده
An error in the computer program which evaluated nucleon spectra following the decay of Λ hypernuclei has been detected. The error affected the final state interaction (FSI) of the nucleons, reducing by a factor ten the nucleon-nucleon (NN) collision probability. When correcting the error, some results and conclusions of Ref. [1] have changed substantially. In this erratum we present the corrected results, keeping the same numbering of the original figures to avoid confusion. The corrections affect figures 6 to 8 and 11 to 16, which we display below. In summary, the effect of FSI of the nucleons is much more important than in the old results. This has as consequences,

Non-Relativistic Limit of Neutron Beta-Decay Cross-Section in the Presence of Strong Magnetic Field
One of the most important reactions of the URCA that lead to the cooling of a neutron star, is neutron beta-decay ( ). In this research, the energy spectra and wave functions of massive fermions taking into account the Anomalous Magnetic Moment (AMM) in the presence of a strong changed magnetic field are calculated. For this purpose, the Dirac-Pauli equation for charged and neutral fermions is ...
متن کاملNeutron and proton spectra from the decay of Λ hypernuclei
We have determined the spectra of neutrons and protons following the decay of Λ hypernuclei through the oneand two-nucleon induced mechanisms. The momentum distributions of the primary nucleons are calculated and a Monte Carlo simulation is used to account for final state interactions. From the spectra we calculate the number of neutrons (Nn) and protons (Np) per Λ decay and show how the measur...

متن کاملProton Therapy of eye using MCNPX code
Introduction: Proton radiotherapy is the one of advanced teletherapy methods. The protons deposit their maximum energy in a position called Bragg peak. Therefore, for treatment of cancer, the tumor should be placed at the Bragg peak or SOBP. The scattered photons and neutrons is a challenge in proton radiotherapy. The aim of this study is calculation of absorbed dose from scatt...
متن کاملAssessment of The Relation Between Energy Of Primary Protons And Undesired Neutron Dose During Proton Therapy By Monte Carlo Method
Introduction: High-energy beams of protons offer significant advantages for the treatment of deepseated local tumors. Their physical depth-dose distribution in tissue is characterized by a small entrance dose and a distinct maximum -Bragg peak- near the end of range with a sharp fall-off at the distal edge. Alongside its advantages there are some point that they need to meticul...
