Book excerpt: Effects due to elementary particle-like collisions within nuclear matter have been observed in several nuclear reactions caused by pions and protons. Simple nuclear reactions of the form ZA(a, an)Z/sup A-1/ and Z/sup A/(a, ap)(Z-1)/ sup A-1/ have excitation functions that are sensitive to changes in the elementary-particle cross sections. The excitation function for the reaction C/ sup 12/(pi /sup -/, pi /sup -/n)C/sup 11/ is measure d from 53 to 1610 Mev by bombarding targets of plastic scintillator with pions. The intensity of the pion beam is monitored with a two-counter telescope and 40 Mc scaling system. The scintillator target is mounted on a phototube and becomes the detector for the carbon-11 positron activity. Corrections are made for muon contamination in the beam, coincidence losses in the monitor system, carbon-11 activity produced by stray background at the accelerator, carbon-1l activity produced by secondaries in the target, and the efficiency of the carbon-11 detection system. The C/sup 12/(pi /sup -/, pi /sup -/n)C/sup 11/ cross sections rise to a peak of abo ut 70 mb at 190 Mev, that corresponds to the resonance in freeparticle pi /sup -/n scattering at 190 Mev. Calculations based on a knock-on'' collision mechanism and sharp-cutoff nuclear density reproduce the shape of the experimental excitation function, but the magnitudes of the calculated values are low by a factor of six, The calculation shows that the C/sup 12/(pi /sup -/, pi /sup -/ n)C/sup 11/ reaction occurs in the nuclear s urface region at all bombarding energies, The contributions to the (pi /sup -/, pi /sup -/n) reaction predominate on the front surface of the nucleus in order to give the pion the maximum probability of escaping. The excitation functions for the reactions ured radiochemically from 400 Mev to 6.2 Bev. The slight increase in the (p,2p) cross sections measured from 400 to 720 Mev is related to the occurrence of a quasi- free-particle pp colliaion within the nucleus. Due to the proton momentum distribution, the increase is not as pronounced as the rise in freeparticle pp total cross sections from 400 to 1000 Mev. From 2.2 to 8.2 Bev, the Zn/sup 68/ (p,2p)Cu/sup 67/ and Fe/sup 67/(p,2p)Mn/sup 5 cross sections are constant at 21 plus or minus 2 mb and 50 plus or minus 8 mb, respectively. The difference in magnitudes of the (p,2p) cross sections is ascribed to the availability of only two protons in zinc-68 and of six protons in iron-57 for this particular reaction. The free-particle effects are not seen in more complex reactions as evidenced by the constant cross sections from 0.72 to 6.2 Bev for the yields of manganese-51 and -52 from the reactions of protons with iron and for the yields of copper-61 and -84 from the reactions of protons with zinc. Cross sections are presented for a few products from pion-induced reactions requiring several nucleons to be emitted. The yields of manganese-58 and -52 and iron-52 from the bombardment of natural copper by negative pi meson, the yields of copper-67, -61, and -64 and manganese-52 and -56 from the negative pi meson bombardment of natural zinc, and the cross section for sodium-24 from negative pi meson + aluminum-27 are compared to the yields for similar reactions induced by protons. At the high energies considered here, interaction of negative pi meson with these targets is shown to give yields that are of the same order of magnitude as the yields from proton reactions. These results are interpreted as experimental evidence that pion processes are very important for energy transfer in high-energy nuclear reactions. 99 references. (auth).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of free-particle collisions in simple ''knockout'' reactions of the form (a, aN) and in more complex nuclear reactions of the form (a, X) was investigated by using protons and pions. Cross sections for the $sup 48$Ti(p,2p)47Sc and the 74Ge(p,2p)73Ga reactions were measured from 0.3 to 4.6 GeV incident energy. The results indicate a rise in (p,2p) cross section for each reaction of about (25 +- 3) percent between the energies 0.3 and 1.0 GeV, and are correlated to a large increase in the total free-particle pp scattering cross sections over the same energy region. Results are compared to previous (p,2p) excitation functions in the GeV energy region and to (p,2p) cross section calculations based on a Monte Carlo intranuclear cascade-evaporation model. Cross section measurements for ([pi]/sup +-/, [pi]N) and other more complex pion-induced spallation reactions were measured for the light target nuclei 14N, 16O, and 19F from 45 to 550 MeV incident pion energy. These measurements indicate a broad peak in the excitation functions for both ([pi], [pi]N) and ([pi], X) reactions near 180 MeV incident energy. This corresponds to the large resonances observed in the free-particle [pi]p and [pi]−p cross sections at the same energy. Striking differences in ([pi], [pi]N) cross section magnitudes are observed among the light nuclei targets. The experimental cross section ratio sigma([pi]−, [pi]−n)/ sigma($pi$$sup +$, $pi$N) at 180 MeV is 1.7 +- 0.2 for all three targets. The experimental results are compared to previous pion and analogous proton-induced reactions, to Monte Carlo intranuclear cascade-evaporation calculations, and to a semi-classical nucleon charge exchange model.

Book excerpt: "The emission of multiply-charged fragments (Z > 3) in nu.c lear rea ct ions was f ir st recorded by Perk ins (1) who studied disintegrations caused by cosmic rays. Subsequently the production of complex particles has been observed in many nuclear reactions induced by projectiles with a wide range of energies. The emission of these fragments has been investigated with respect to fragment yield, charge, energy, and angular distribution, using counter, radiochemical, and emulsion techniques." --

Book excerpt: While we have attempted to mention at least the most important developments in the theory of pre-equilibrium reactions, the volume of work in this area over the last few years has been so immense that it is not possible to give a comprehensive account of all that has been done. Our aim is to describe as clearly as we can the main physical ideas and to sketch the mathematical formulations that have been developed to enable practical calculations to be made. We attach particular importance to the detailed comparisons between theory and experiment because only in this way is it possible to assess the usefulness and validity of the theories that have been proposed.
