A 200-MeV pi(+) induced nucleon removal from 24Mg

Nuclear gamma rays in coincidence with outgoing pions and/or protons following single nucleon removal from Mg24 by 200 MeV pi(+) were detected with Ge(Li) detectors. Differential cross sections are reported for gamma rays from the first excited mirror states of Na23 to Mg23 in coincidence with positive pions and/or protons detected in particle telescopes at 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 deg; angle integrated absolute cross sections and cross section ratios sigma (Mg23/sigma (Na23) are calculated. These results are compared with the predictions of the one step quasifree (OSQF), the intranuclear cascade (INC), and the nucleon charge exchange (NCX) reaction models. The OSQF and the INC calculations generally agree with the experimental results, while the NCX calculations are in disagreement.

Elastic scattering of 600-MeV protons from H, D, He-3, and He-4.

Study of the elastic scattering of 600-MeV protons from light nuclei. Differential cross sections have been obtained for the scattering of protons from hydrogen, deuterium, helium-3, and helium-4. Polarization was measured for deuterium and He-4 nuclei. The p-p cross-section data are in excellent agreement with the predictions from the Livermore phase shifts. Small-angle p-D, p-He-3 elastic scattering data are compared with calculations based on the multiple-scattering theories of Watson and Glauber.
