The differential elastic-scattering cross sections of 1-BeV protons on hydrogen, helium, carbon, and oxygen have been measured. The nuclear data exhibit diffractionlike structure associated with the multiple scattering of protons by nucleons inside the nuclei. The experimental technique provides a new and powerful method for studying nucleon-nucleon correlations inside the nucleus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
