Transmission measurements in good and poor geometry have been performed at the Brookhaven Cosmotron to measure the total and absorption cross sections of several nuclei for neutrons in the Bev energy range. The neutrons are produced by bombarding a Be target with 2.2-Bev protons. The neutron detector requires the incident particle to pass an anticoincidence counter and produce in an aluminum radiator a charged particle that will traverse a fourfold scintillation telescope containing 6 in. of lead. Contribution of neutrons below 800 Mev are believed small. The angular distribution of neutrons from the target is sharply peaked forward with a half-width of 6°. The integral angular distributions of diffraction scattered neutrons from C, Cu, and Pb are measured by varying the detector geometry. The angular half-width of these distributions indicates a mean effective neutron energy of 1.4±0.2 Bev. The total cross sections σH and σD−σH are measured by attenuation differences in good geometry of CH2-C and D2O-H2O, with the result: σH=42.4±1.8 mb, σD−σH=42.2±1.8 mb. The cross sections of eight elements from Be to U are measured in good and poor geometry, and the following values of the total and absorption cross sections are deduced (in units of millibrans): Experimental errors are about 3 percent in σtotal and 5 percent in σabsorption. An interpretation of these cross sections is given in terms of optical model parameters for two extreme nuclear density distributions: uniform (radius R) and Gaussian [ρ=ρ0exp−(ra)2]. The absorption cross-section data are well fitted with R=1.28A13 or a=0.32+0.62A13 in units of 10−13 cm. A nuclear density distribution intermediate between uniform and Gaussian will make the present results consistent with the recent electromagnetic radii.

Elastic Scattering and Single Meson Production in Proton-Proton Collisions at 2.85 Bev

The Brookhaven National Laboratory twenty-inch liquid hydrogen bubble chamber was exposed to a monoenergetic beam of 2.85-Bev protons, elastically scattered from a carbon target in the internal beam of the Cosmotron. All two-prong events, excluding strange particle events, have been studied by the Yale High-Energy Group. The remaining interactions have been studied by the Brookhaven Bubble Chamber Group. Elastic scattering was found to be mostly pure diffraction scattering at center-of-mass angles up to about thirty-five degrees. Some phase shift and/or tapering of the proton edge was required to fit the data at larger angles. No polarization effects in the proton-carbon scattering were observed using hydrogen as an analyzer of polarized protons. Nucleonic isobar formation in the T=32, J=32 state was found to account for a large part of single pion production. High-orbital angular-momentum states were found to be greatly favored in single pion production. The isobar model of Lindenbaum and Sternheimer gave good agreement with the observed nucleon and pion energy spectra. No polarization or alignment effects were observed for the isobar assumed in this model.

Positive Pion Production by Polarized X Rays between 227 and 373 MeV

Smith, R.C. ; Mozley, R.F. ;

Inspire Record 46842 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.26742

Measurements have been made of the ratio of the π+ photoproduction cross sections at right angles to and along the electric field vector. Data have been taken at 45°, 90°, and 135° at energies of 227, 240, 342, and 373 MeV. A comparison of the data with the predictions of a phenomenological analysis using only S and P waves shows less than 0.1% chance of obtaining such results without the inclusion of higher angular momenta, and hence, demonstrates even more convincingly the need for a meson current term which has been indicated by other measurements. A comparison is made with the relativistic dispersion relations of McKinley which include an approximation for the γ, ρ, π coupling. At the resonance energy our polarization asymmetry is insensitive to this coupling and is in good agreement with the McKinley prediction. At lower energy the agreement is not as good but our data seem to substantiate the need for a negative γ, ρ, π coupling constant.

Particle Production by 2.9-BeV Protons Incident on Beryllium and Platinum

Piroue, P.A. ; Smith, A.J.S. ;
Phys.Rev. 148 (1966) 1315-1326, 1966.
Inspire Record 50655 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.26589

Differential cross sections as a function of momentum are presented for the production of π mesons, K mesons, protons, deuterons, tritons, and He3 at various laboratory angles by 2.9-BeV protons striking Be and Pt targets. The Be data were taken at 13°, 30°, 60°, and 93° relative to the direction of the Princeton-Pennsylvania Accelerator internal proton beam; the Pt data were taken at 13° and 93° only. The results are compared with the corresponding data in hydrogen in order to investigate the role of the complex nucleus in particle production at this energy.

K+-Meson Production in p-p Collisions at 2.5-3.0 GeV

Hogan, W.J. ; Piroue, P.A. ; Smith, A.J.S. ;

Inspire Record 54415 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.26524

Differential cross sections as a function of momentum are presented for the production of K+ mesons in p−p collisions at incident proton energies of 2.54, 2.88, and 3.03 GeV. The measurements were made at 20°, 30°, and 40° relative to the direction of the internal proton beam of the Princeton-Pennsylvania accelerator. At 2.54 GeV, the results follow closely the predictions from phase space (with 60% K+ΣN and 40% K+Λp in the final state). At 2.88 and 3.03 GeV, however, there is a definite disagreement with phase space. The data are compared to the predictions of three models: (1) a model based on the assumption that K's are produced via p+p→K++X+, where X+ is a B=2, S=−1 resonance which decays into a nucleon+hyperon; (2) the isobar model; and (3) the one-pion-exchange model. Model (1) is found to be inconclusive, model (2) is inadequate, and model (3) is partly successful in predicting total cross sections, but not in interpreting the detailed experimental observations.

Proton proton triple scattering at 1.9 gev

Phys.Rev. 179 (1969) 1304-1314, 1969.
Inspire Record 55504 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.5476

We have measured the Wolfenstein triple-scattering parameters R, D, and A′ at 1.9 GeV for p−p scattering at 90° in the c.m. system. We find that R=0.11±0.16, A′=−0.54±0.16, and D=0.91±0.21, where these parameters are defined in the c.m. system. The possibility of a vector character for the strong inter-actions is discussed. We conclude that neither a single vector-meson exchange nor a single pseudoscalar-meson exchange can account for the data. Spin effects are found to remain an important part of the nucleon-nucleon interaction at four-momentum transfer −t=1.8 (GeV/c)2.

Differential cross sections have been measured for π − p elastic scattering at laboratory momenta in the range 1.2 to 3.0 GeV/ c for the c.m. range 0.97 > cos θ ∗ > −0.98 . The corresponding mass range is 1.78 to 2.56 GeV/ c 2 . The data was obtained from a counter experiment in which the scattered pions and protons were detected in coincidence by arrays of scintillation counters.
