The s andw variations of the np charge-exchange (np-*pn) cross section are measured to be relatively smooth and without structure at intermediate energies-in sharp contast to previous results.
The 0' neutron spectra resulting from 800 MeV proton bombardment of targets of Al, Ti, Cu, W, Pb, and U have been measured for neutron momenta above 500 MeV/c. Integrated cross sections for the quasielastic charge exchange peaks and the broad pion associated peaks at lower momenta show a remarkably smooth dependence on atomic mass of the target, varying as A "' and A '", respectively. NUCLEAR REACTIONS A1, Ti, Cu, W, Pb, U(p, n), E=800 MeV; measured cr (O'; P"); deduced A dependence of charge exchange and pion associated cross sections.
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.
