Ramsauer-Townsend effect in the total cross section ofHe4+He

Abstract: Total scattering cross-section measurements for 'He+ 'He and 'He+ 'He are presented for velocities between 60 and 900 m/sec and 105 to 1000 m/sec, respectively. For 'He+ He, a Ramsauer-Townsend effect is resolved and s and d phase shifts are obtained. The behavior of the s phase shift suggests that this system is not bound. For 'He+ 'He a virtual state at 135 m/sec is resolved and some p phase shifts are obtained. A fit to the data for both pairs indicates that mass-polarization effects are negligible.

“…g = 2 m/s, the TCS of 4 He is four orders of magnitude larger than that of 3 He. Such behaviours are qualitatively consistent with experimental data [41]. However, a large dispersion of these data does not allow to perform a reasonable quantitative comparison.…”

“…Further, at equilibrium density, r T has a singularity (virtual state). Judging from previous experience [13], this singularity may be interpreted as an indicator of superfluidity or a quasi-bound state [6,18,19]. It is noted that there is no singularity in the free-scattering limit, i.e., this singularity is a result of many-body effects.…”

“…The interatomic helium potential used in both works was the Lennard-Jones potential. Also, the total scattering cross section for 3 He-3 He has been measured for projectile velocities between 105 and 1000 m/s [6] and compared to the cross sections obtained from the modified Lennard-Jones (mLJ-D) potential. There were significant deviations between measurements and the calculated results at very low velocity.…”

“…The Ramsauer effect was certainly the first phenomenon showing the wave properties of matter. This framework has since then been used to describe very different types of collisions such as atom-atom [8] or even neutron-nucleus [9][10][11][12][13]. Our idea is that since light behaves like a wave, it should be also possible to apply Bohr/Ramsauer's ideas to light scattering by spherical particles.…”
