Differential and total cross sections are calculated for charged pion photoproduction and radiative pion capture in flight close to threshold [Formula: see text], mainly for a target of 12C. At the lower energies, selective bound state excitation may be studied in photo-production since the giant resonance is kinematically suppressed here. Pion absorption is found to increase considerably with decreasing pion energy due to a 1/νπ factor, and it shows a dip in the forward direction except for the 1+ state. Distortion and absorption effects on the pion are calculated, and are estimated to lead to only a small reduction of the cross section in the energy region considered.

We discuss a new mechanism by which pions are absorbed in a single-step process on three correlated nucleons in 3He and 4He, leading to three nucleons which share the pion energy comparably. The mechanism invokes quark degrees of freedom in nuclei, with a small probability of about 6% in He, but nevertheless leads to cross-sections of several millibarns. Comparison is made to recent experiments, and to conventional mechanisms.

A quantal many-body formalism is presented that investigates pion production through the coherent formation of a nucleonic isobar in the projectile and its subsequent decay to various pion charge states along with concomitant excitation of the target to a coherent spin–isospin giant resonance via a peripheral collision of relativistic heavy ions. Total cross sections as a function of the incident energy per nucleon and Lorentz-invariant differential cross sections as a function of pion energy and angle are calculated. It is shown that the pion angular distributions, in coincidence with the target giant resonance excitations, might provide a well-defined signature for these coherent processes.

Abstract We propose the operation of LEvEL, the Low-Energy Neutrino Experiment at the LHC, a neutrino detector near the Large Hadron Collider Beam Dump. Such a detector is capable of exploring an intense, low-energy neutrino flux and can measure neutrino cross sections that have previously never been observed. These cross sections can inform other future neutrino experiments, such as those aiming to observe neutrinos from supernovae, allowing such measurements to accomplish their fundamental physics goals. We perform detailed simulations to determine neutrino production at the LHC beam dump, as well as neutron and muon backgrounds. Measurements at a few to ten percent precision of neutrino-argon charged current and neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering cross sections are attainable with 100 ton-year and 1 ton-year exposures at LEvEL, respectively, concurrent with the operation of the High Luminosity LHC. We also estimate signal and backgrounds for an experiment exploiting the forward direction of the LHC beam dump, which could measure neutrinos above 100 GeV.

Using the technique of photoelectron spectrometry in conjunction with synchrotron radiation, we have carried out a systematic study of the partial cross sections of the main photoelectron lines arising from the ionization of the 3d and 4s subshells of atomic Fe in the vicinity of 3p → 3d autoionizing resonances. Our results confirm the presence of two broad and intense resonances which have been observed earlier. However, our high resolution results also clearly indicate the presence of numerous other weaker resonances. Through a fitting procedure we were able to accurately determine both resonance widths and positions.

The energy dependence of the electric dipole amplitude, the total and differential cross-sections of the photoproduction of neutral pions off protons near threshold is given. The amplitude of process is a sum of the LET prediction and the additional term connected with the chiral symmetry breaking interaction. The simple K-matrix calculations are used to estimate the change in the electric dipole amplitude and the total and differential cross-sections between π0p and π+n thresholds.
