Elastic π+−p scattering at 1.1 Bev and elastic p−p scattering at 582 Mev have been measured using a propane bubble chamber. On the basis of 661 identified π+−p elastic scatterings found in the scanning of 1.726×106 cm of pion track, the total elastic cross section is found to be 12.3±1.2 mb. The differential cross section is rather isotropic at large angles and exhibits a strong peak for small forward scattering angles. If the forward peak is interpreted as diffraction scattering according to the optical model, the data are best fitted by a proton with a π+−p interaction radius, R=(0.99−0.11+0.13)×10−13 cm and an opacity, O=0.70−0.07+0.06. The total cross section for p−p elastic scattering at 582 Mev was found to be 24.2±1.6 mb on the basis of 2442 elastic scatterings observed in the scanning of 3.000×106 cm of proton track. Both differential and total p−p cross sections are in excellent agreement with the results of counter experiments in this energy region.

Results are presented of an investigation of the polarization of recoil protons appearing in elastic 1r+ -p scattering through an angle of 140 ± 8° in the c.m.s. at an energy of 307 ± 5 Mev. A polarization value P 1 = -0.19 ± 0.17 has been deriver from the data on the magnitude of the left-right asymmetry in elastic scattering of recoil protons on photographic emulsion nuclei. Phase shifts satisfying the indicated polarization value and consistent with the differential cross section for elastic scattering of 71"+ -mesons by protons are given by Eq. (1). Problems connected with the use of various phase shift sets for analysis of the experimental data are discussed.

An investigation of π−+p elastic scattering, made in a liquid propane bubble chamber, is reported. Identification of events is made on the basis of kinematics. The problem of contamination by pion scattering from protons bound in carbon is considered in some detail; it is shown that the latter requires a correction of only 4±2.5% of the total number of events. The angular distribution is presented. It shows a large diffraction peak at small angles and an approximately isotropic plateau over the backward hemisphere. The forward peak is fitted to a black-sphere diffraction pattern with a radius of (1.08±0.06)×10−13 cm. The total elastic cross section is found to be σe=10.1±0.80 mb.

The scattering of 139.5-Mev electrons in hydrogen gas at one-atmosphere pressure has been investigated using photographic emulsions. The beam of electrons from the Stanford Mark III linear accelerator, collimated to a diameter of 116 in., passed through the gas and was collected in a lead Faraday cup. Ilford C−2 emulsions, 50 μ thick, which were arranged symmetrically about the beam, detected the recoil protons. Measurements of the recoil angle γ and the range in the emulsion were made on the proton tracks. Only those events were accepted whose measured range and angle correlated within ±2.33 standard deviations of the distribution about the elastic kinematic range-angle curve calculated from the multiple scattering in the emulsion and the uncertainty in angle measurement. A total of 2350 tracks have been tabulated in the angular interval 54°<~γ<~78° giving a statistical error matching the systematic errors in plate geometry, beam integration, and track measurement. The results are compared with the Mott cross section integrated over the interval. The theoretical cross section was corrected for (a) proton recoil, (b) the proton magnetic moment, (c) the finite size of the proton's charge and magnetic moment, (d) the radiative correction, including the effect on the cross section of emission of real photons contributing to the observed recoil protons. The result is σexpσtheor=0.988±0.021 (probableerror), using a proton radius of 7.7×10−14 cm, and including a 2.74% radiative correction; the result is not sensitive to the choice of proton radius.
The radiative corrections were not applied in the calculation of the cross sections from the experimental data. Thus the cross sections given in the table are experiment-dependent because the radiative correction depends on the resolution of an experiment. The errors given in the table include systematic and statistical errors combined quadratically. The statistical error varies from 3.5% at 77 DEG to 23.6% at 55 DEG.
These cross sections were recalculated by ZOV from the experimental ones using a radiative correction (see fig.15). Thus they may be considered as an experiment-independent cross sections of a 'pure' process E- P --> E- P.

The structure and size of the proton have been studied by means of high-energy electron scattering. The elastic scattering of electrons from protons in polyethylene has been investigated at the following energies in the laboratory system: 200, 300, 400, 500, and 550 Mev. The range of laboratory angles examined has been 30° to 135°. At the largest angles and the highest energy, the cross section for scattering shows a deviation below that expected from a point proton by a factor of about nine. The magnitude and variation with angle of the deviations determine a structure factor for the proton, and thereby determine the size and shape of the charge and magnetic-moment distributions within the proton. An interpretation, consistent at all energies and angles and agreeing with earlier results from this laboratory, fixes the rms radius at (0.77±0.10) ×10−13 cm for each of the charge and moment distributions. The shape of the density function is not far from a Gaussian with rms radius 0.70×10−13 cm or an exponential with rms radius 0.80×10−13 cm. An equivalent interpretation of the experiments would ascribe the apparent size to a breakdown of the Coulomb law and the conventional theory of electromagnetism.
In the experiment just relative cross sections were measured. The absolute values were ascribed at each energy after multiplying experimental data by a co nstant factor to obtain the best fit with theory assuming the diffuse proton model with charge and magnetic moment rms radii 0.08 fm.. The values in the table are extracted from the graphs (see figs. 6 - 9) byZOV.
