Simple expressions are given which accurately describe the total cross section of solids at cold and epithermal neutron energies. They are intended to provide a consistent procedure for the evaluation of solid state effects, which must be substracted from the experimental data when information is wanted on intrinsic nuclear properties. The formulae presented here are the asymptotic forms to which the full expressions reduce in those energy limits. A Debye model is adopted to describe the frequency spectrum of the solid. The present results are compared with some commonly used expressions as well as with the exact formalism. The effect of temperature is discussed and numerical calculations are presented for some cases.

The total cross section of elemental Sulphur was measured at neutron energies between 1.6 x 10-3 eV and 100 eV, using a pulsed neutron source and time-of-flight techniques. The data in the epithermal neutron region were used to extract the value of the bound nucleus scattering length, taking into account the neutron-electron interaction. A similar transmission experiment was also performed on elemental Bismuth.

The neutron attenuation through single-crystal magnesium fluoride has been measured as a function of wavelength at both room temperature and 77 K. These data confirm a total cross section that is lower than that of MgO for wavelengths greater than 0.2 nm. MgF2cooled to 77 K is a slightly better filter of epithermal neutrons than MgO for obtaining a thermal neutron beam.

In the framework of semihard QCD approach we consider the processes of inelastic heavy quarkonium photoproduction at HERA with emphasis on the BFKL dynamics of gluon distributions. We investigate the dependences of the total cross-section of inelastic J/Ψ photoproduction and also pT and z spectra on different forms of the unintegrated gluon distribution. It is shown that the total cross-section is most sensitive to the Pomeron intercept parameter Δ. We compare the theoretical results with the available H1 and ZEUS experimental data.

In this paper, we consider the exclusive production of proton–antiproton pairs in the interaction between two quasireal photons in [Formula: see text] collision. The differential and total cross-section of the process [Formula: see text] at a beam energy of photons from 2.1 GeV to 4.5 GeV in the center-of-mass and for different values of [Formula: see text] is calculated. At energy [Formula: see text] the total cross-section process of the [Formula: see text] is calculated by the two-photon mechanism. The results are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data.

The intercept of the supercritical pomeron is examined with the use of different forms of the scattering amplitudes of the bare pomeron. The one-to-one correspondence between the eikonal phase and the ratio of the elastic and total cross-section is shown. Based on new experimental data of the CDF collaboration, the intercept and power of the logarithmic growth of the bare and total pomeron amplitude are analyzed. It is shown that as a result of the eikonalization procedure, the bare QCD pomeron becomes compatible with experiment.

We specify the electroweak scenario of structureless compositeness (SC) put forward previously to the case of identical masses m(W±)=m(Φ±) and m(Z)=m(Φ0). The resulting quantum-mechanical interference will exhibit a vector–scalar phase interlocking of exactly π. We calculate the total cross-section of e+e-→ W+W- in this scenario and compare with the SM. The experimental data is found not to rule out any of the four scenarios SM, κ an =0, SC at κ=1 and 0. Pronounced differences between these four cases show up for the σ tot contribution of the W L W L final state. The effects are illustrated in plots free of the trivial phase-space factor.

The inelastic cross section of deuterons hitting a Lead target has been determined by the beam attenuation technique. A spallation neutron source based on Lead target has been irradiated with 1.6 and 2.5 GeV deuterons. Solid state nuclear track detectors as well as the activation method were used in order to obtain the neutron and proton distribution along the surface of the source. The attenuation coefficient was estimated by fitting the experimental data taking into account the build up effect and the beam attenuation. Using the attenuation coefficient, the interaction length and then the inelastic cross section of deuterons on Lead reaction have been determined.

AbstractThe aim of the present work is to use one of the machine learning techniques named the genetic programming (GP) to model the p-p interactions through discovering functions. In our study, GP is used to simulate and predict the multiplicity distribution of charged pions (P(n ch)), the average multiplicity (〈n ch〉) and the total cross section (σ tot) at different values of high energies. We have obtained the multiplicity distribution as a function of the center of mass energy ($$ \sqrt s $$) and charged particles (n ch). Also, both the average multiplicity and the total cross section are obtained as a function of $$ \sqrt s $$. Our discovered functions produced by GP technique show a good match to the experimental data. The performance of the GP models was also tested at non-trained data and was found to be in good agreement with the experimental data.

Processes of heavy quark photoproduction at HERA energies are considered using the semihard (k⊥ factorization) QCD approach with emphasis of the BFKL dynamics of gluon distributions. We investigate the dependences of the total cross-section of heavy quark photoproduction and also the pT distribution on different forms of the unintegrated gluon distribution. We present a comparison of the theoretical results with available H1 and ZEUS experimental data for charm and beauty photoproductions.
