The projectile fragment separator type radioactive ion beam (RIB) facilities, being developed in different laboratories, provide the scope for producing many new exotic nuclei through fragmentation of high energy radioactive ion (RI) beams. A new empirical parametrization for the estimation of cross-sections of projectile fragments has been prescribed for studying the advantages and limitations of high energy RI beams for the production of new exotic nuclei. The parametrization reproduces the experimental data for the production of fragments from neutron-rich projectiles accurately in contrast to the existing parametrization which tends to overestimate the cross-section of neutron-rich fragments in most cases. The modified formalism has been used to compute the cross-sections of neutron-rich species produced by fragmentation of radioactive projectiles (RIBs). It has been found that, given any limit of production cross-section, the exoticity of the fragment increases rather slowly and shows a saturation tendency as the projectile is made more and more exotic. This essentially limits, to an extent, the utility of very neutron-rich radioactive beams vis-a-vis production of new neutron-rich exotic species.

Abstract Using modern multiloop calculation methods, we derive the analytical expressions for the total cross sections of the processes e−γ →$$ {e}^{-}X\overline{X} $$ e − X X ¯ with X = μ, γ or e at arbitrary energies. For the first two processes our results are expressed via classical polylogarithms. The cross section of e−γ → e−e−e+ is represented as a one-fold integral of complete elliptic integral K and logarithms. Using our results, we calculate the threshold and high-energy asymptotics and compare them with available results.

An experiment to measure the cross section for high-energy cosmic-ray neutrons and charged nuclear-active particle interactions with Pb and C nuclei has been carried out at an altitude of 2 000 m. Large spark chambers were used in a detector which selected neutrons and charged nuclear-active particles in the region of 100 GeV. The results are σπ(nPb) = (1.65 ± 0.17) barn, σπ(nC) = (0.204 ± 0.02) barn, σπ(πPb) = (1.53 ± 0.17) barn, σπ(πC) = (0.168 ± 0.017) barn.

The isotopic production cross sections for the reactions of 136Xe induced by proton, deuteron and carbon at 168 MeV/u were obtained by using the inverse kinematics technique at RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory. The target dependence of the cross sections was investigated systematically. It was found that for the light-mass products, the cross sections on carbon are larger than those on deuteron and proton. The measured cross sections on proton were compared with the previous data at higher reaction energies to study the energy dependence. The experimental results were compared with the theoretical calculations including both the intranuclear cascade and evaporation processes using PHITS and with the EPAX and SPACS empirical parameterizations.

Synthesizing nuclei through reactions that produce a reasonable yield is important for the experimental study of neutron-rich nuclei. In this study, the cross-section values of 184Ta and 186Ta nuclei in various experiments were reviewed and analysed. The experimental data of (n, p), (p, x) and (n, α) reactions were compared to identify the best reaction to produce these nuclei for further study. Our study shows that (n, p) reactions on natural Tungsten targets are the most feasible reactions with a good yield of the neutron-rich Tantalum isotopes. New reactions have been proposed for the effective synthesis of 184Ta and 186Ta using tritium beams on Hafnium targets. The cross-section values of the proposed reactions were calculated by PACE4 software simulations.

Scalar unparticle production in the process is studied from unparticle physics perspective. We have calculated and evaluated the cross sections for muon and Z boson exchange when the  beams are initially polarized. Numerical calculations show that the cross section of collisions depends strongly on the polarized condition of the initial beams and the collision energy . The results are plotted in the energy reach available at the present accelerators and the future high energy frontier muon colliders as shown in the scheme by Muon Accelerator Program (MAP) and other different colliders.

The Λ-hypernucleus (LHN) production in the proton-induced reaction is studied in the distorted wave impulse approximation(DWIA). The cross sections for the LHN production in the reactions where the proton bombards the 6Li, 12C and 16O targets, respectively, are calculated. It is shown that the reaction cross sections are of the order of μb, and the distortion effects tend to reduce the cross sections by a factor of 3~10. For the sΛ–LHN production, the differential cross section is decreased with the increasing mass of the target nucleus. The pΛ–LHN production cross section is normally higher than that for the sΛ–LHN production. The double differential cross sections (DDXS) with respect to the momenta of the outgoing proton and kaon are also demonstrated. The missing mass spectra of the inclusive reaction p+A → p+K++X for the 6Li, 12C and 16O targets, an alternative way to study hypernuclear physics, are proposed. From these spectra, the masses of LHN can accurately be extracted. Moreover, the exotic LHN production in the same type of reaction is also studied . The same physical quantities are calculated. It is shown that the magnitude of the cross section is also in the order of μb. The halo effect of the core nucleus that locates at a place far away from the stable line would make the wave function broader, and consequently reduces the production cross section.

Deuteron breakup cross sections on the C and CH2 targets have been measured up to the proton internal momenta of 0.3 GeV/c. The cross-sections 12C(d, p)X and 1H(d, p)X reactions have been obtained with high precision. The obtained data are compared with previous measurements. The behavior features in the vicinity of the cross section maximum were studied in dependence on the transversal momentum in the region of 0.01 < pt < 0.16 GeV/c. The measurements have been performed at the Veksler Baldin Laboratory of High Energy Physics of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research.

For the Accelerator-Driven nuclear transmutation System (ADS), nuclide production yield estimation in a lead-bismuth target is important to manage the target. However, experimental data of nuclide production yield by spallation and high-energy fission reactions are scarce. In order to obtain the experimental data, an experiment in J-PARC using natPb and 209Bi samples were carried out. The samples were thin foils with about 0.1 mm thick and 25 mm × 25 mm square and were irradiated with protons at kinematic energy points of 0.4GeV, 2.2GeV, and 3.0 GeV. After the irradiation, the nuclide production cross section was determined by spectroscopic measurement of decay gamma-rays from the samples with HPGe detectors. In this paper, 14 nuclide production cross sections for lead and bismuth were obtained. They were compared with the calculated cross sections with various models and the evaluated one.


An expression for the cross-section describing electron capture by protons in atomic hydrogen is derived from an expansion based on atomic wave functions. Full account is taken of momentum transfer and of the non-orthogonality of the wave functions of the initial and final states by the method due to Bates. The cross-sections have been computed for proton energies from 100 to 1 MeV. In the low energy limit, the results agree with the p.s.s. calculations of Dalgarno & Yadav and in the high energy limit with the calculations of Brinkm an & Kramers.

Data collected with the DELPHI detector at [Formula: see text] up to LEP2 highest energies (i.e. exceeding 205 GeV) have been used to extract preliminary values of the cross-sections for quark-antiquark pair-production in e + e - annihilations. The values found were used to test the Standard Model predictions and to seek for physics beyond it.
