A microscopy system has been constructed that is capable of simultaneously acquiring both Raman spectra and angle-resolved elastic-scattering patterns in either epi- or transillumination modes with a 7 mum spot size. The benefits and drawbacks of the epi- and transillumination modalities are discussed. Validation studies have been performed on single beads of a few micrometers in size, as well ...

Elastic scattering of a projectile, composed of three clusters, from a spherical target is analysed using a four-body adiabatic model. The model is a generalisation of the three-body adiabatic model of Johnson and Soper. Calculations of the elastic scattering of 11Li from 12C are compared to both experimental data and the results of recent four-body eikonal model calculations. PACS numbers: 24....

In this paper we use the Schwinger multichannel method ~SMC! to calculate several types of cross sections related to the elastic electron scattering by NO. We show through the NO system that the elastic scattering of an electron by an open shell molecule is a much richer process than the corresponding scattering by closed shell targets. We present cross sections for unpolarized electron scatter...

An elastic wave propagating in a metal loses a portion of its energy from scattering caused by acoustic impedance differences existing at the boundaries of anisotropic grains. Theoretical scattering models capture this phenomena by assuming the incoming wave is described by an average elastic moduli tensorC0 i jkl (x) that is perturbed by a grain with elasticityCi jkl (x ′) where the scattering...

The role of phonon scattering in carbon nanotube field-effect transistors sCNTFETsd is explored by solving the Boltzmann transport equation using the Monte Carlo method. The results show that elastic scattering in a short-channel CNTFET has a small effect on the source-drain current due to the long elastic mean-free path smfpd s,1 mmd. If elastic scattering with a short mfp were to exist in a C...

The elastic low-energy positron scattering on Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba and Ra atoms has been investigated at energies below 100 eV. The ab initio calculated polarization potentials applied in these calculations were obtained by solving the coupled Dirac-Hartree-Fock equations. Comparison between present results and those of previous model calculations shows serious discrepancies. Particularly, we do ...

An overview is given of some recent and planned experiments which have or will substantially increase our knowledge of the electromagnetic properties of the few body systems. Specific examples include the proton and neutron elastic form factors, the deuteron elastic form factors, deuteron threshold electro-disintigration and quasi-elastic scattering, deuteron photodisintigration, and finally me...

We present a variational basis-set calculational scheme for elastic scattering of positronium atom by helium atom in S wave and apply it to the calculation of the scattering length. Highly correlated trial functions with appropriate symmetry are used in this calculation. We report numerical result for the scattering length in atomic unit: (1.0 ± 0.1)a0. This corresponds to a zero-energy elastic...

A new method for the determination of the real part of the elastic scattering amplitude is examined for high energy proton-proton and proton-nuclei elastic scattering at small momentum transfer. This method allows us to decrease the number of model assumptions, to obtain the real part in a narrow region of momentum transfer and to test different models for hadron-nuclei scattering. ∗Unité de Re...

We discuss the target and beam normal spin asymmetries in elastic electron-nucleon scattering which depend on the imaginary part of two-photon exchange processes between electron and nucleon. In particular, we estimate these transverse spin asymmetries for beam energies below 2 GeV, where the twophoton exchange process is dominated from the resonance contribution to the doubly virtual Compton s...
