The elastic and inelastic profiles have been derived from the measured elastic differential cross section data with the help of exact impact parameter representation of elastic scattering amplitude. The results obtained for pp scattering at energy of 53 GeV and ¯ pp scattering at energy of 541 GeV have been presented. They indicate that nucleons can be regarded as objects characterized by a sma...

We report inelastic and elastic neutron scattering, magnetic susceptibility, and heat capacity measurements for polycrystalline sodium ruthenate (Na(3)RuO(4)). Previous work suggests that this material consists of isolated tetramers of S = 3/2  Ru(5+) ions in a so-called lozenge configuration. Comparisons of magnetic susceptibility and inelastic and elastic neutron scattering results with analy...

Low-temperature neutron scattering spectra of diammonium dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborate [(NH(4))(2)B(12)H(12)] reveal two NH(4)(+) rotational tunneling peaks (e.g., 18.5 μeV and 37 μeV at 4 K), consistent with the tetrahedral symmetry and environment of the cations. The tunneling peaks persist between 4 K and 40 K. An estimate was made for the tunnel splitting of the first NH(4)(+) librational ...

We present a phenomenological approach (EPOS), based on the parton model, but going much beyond, and try to understand proton-proton and deuteron-gold collisions, in particular the transverse momentum results from all the four RHIC experiments. It turns out that elastic and inelastic parton ladder splitting is the key issue. Elastic splitting is in fact related to screening and saturation, but ...

We propose and analyze a technique that allows one to suppress inelastic collisions and simultaneously enhance elastic interactions between cold polar molecules. The main idea is to cancel the leading dipole-dipole interaction with a suitable combination of static electric and microwave fields in such a way that the remaining van der Waals-type potential forms a three-dimensional repulsive shie...

We calculate neutrino induced cross-sections relevant for oscillation experiments, including the τ -lepton threshold for quasi-elastic, resonance and deep inelastic scattering. In addition to threshold effects, we include nuclear corrections for heavy targets which are moderate for quasi-elastic and large for single pion production. Nuclear effects for deep inelastic reactions are small. We pre...

We consider K − nucleon elastic and inelastic scattering in isospin symmetric nuclear matter. It is found that the proper description of the Λ(1405) resonance structure in nuclear matter requires a self-consistent approach. Then the Λ(1405) resonance mass remains basically unchanged, however, the resonance acquires an increased decay width as nuclear matter is compressed. The elastic and inelas...

We report on the nonlinear cotunneling spectroscopy of a carbon nanotube quantum dot coupled to Nb superconducting contacts. Our measurements show rich subgap features in the stability diagram which become more pronounced as the temperature is increased. Applying a transport theory based on the Liouville– von Neumann equation for the density matrix, we show that the transport properties can be ...
