The distributions in angle and energy for charged particles emitted from polycrystalline platinum bombarded with ions of hydrogen, sodium, potassium and some hydrocarbons, have been measured, in continuation of previous work (Cawthron, Cotterell & Oliphant 1969 a , b , parts I and II; 1970, part III) to lower energies. Composite spectra are presented, including ions of both signs. The flux of emitted charged particles, under hydrogen ion bombardment, is shown to contain approximately equal numbers of protons and H¯ ions, except at the lowest bombarding energies, where the latter apparently predominate. Scattering in all cases is shown to increase with bombarding energy over the range covered, the increase being near linear for hydrogen and very rapid for alkalimetal ions. In all cases the total emission of charged particles is very small at the lowest bombarding energies employed.

An attempt has been made to study the angular characteristic of relativistic charged particles produced in 4.5 A GeV/c 12C-emulsion collisions. The dependence of these characteristics on the multiplicity of the relativistic particles, Ns, has also been investigated. The results reveal that the angular distributions of relativistic particles do not depend on Ns, except at small angles where contribution of singly charged particles fragments enhances the number of relativistic charged particles. It is also observed that the maximum of pseudorapidity, η and <η> distributions, shifts towards the lower value of η with increasing multiplicity of Ns. The study of the rapidity dispersion of relativistic charged particles reveals that the clusterization effect occurs significantly among the final state relativistic particles produced in heavy ion interactions.

AbstractIn this work we analyse Cherenkov radiation by relativistic muons, positive and negative, channeled in optically transparent diamond and silicon crystals in comparison with ordinary Cherenkov radiation. We have shown that the maxima in the spectral angular distributions for both types of radiation are revealed at the derivative extrema for the media refractive index, while, due to the difference in scattering of positively and negatively charged particles at crystal channeling, the number of Cherenkov photons emitted by channeled positive muons might be over the one for negative muons. We have demonstrated that Cherenkov radiation by quasi free projectiles is described as one limiting approximation of a general expression for Cherenkov radiation by channeled projectiles, which takes into account non-zero derivative of the refractive index. The last may result in essential increase of radiation intensity.


Apparatus previously described has been used to study the angular distribution of the charged particles from nuclear processes initiated by 8 MeV deuterons. The experimental technique and the method of obtaining relative values of the yield at different angles in the centre-of-mass system are described. Results of measurements on the elastic collision of deuterons with protons are given, together with an account of the method for obtaining absolute values of cross-sections from the relative values, using the known cross-section for this process measured by other experimenters. Angular distributions obtained for deuterons elastically scattered by deuterons, and for protons from the reaction 2 H ( d , p ) 3 H, are produced, and their interpretation discussed.
