Abstract

Differential cross sections were measured at E_p = 35 MeV for the ¹³C(p, n) and ¹³C(p, p′) reactions leading to the four low-lying states in the mirror nuclei ¹³N and ¹³C. In addition, the analyzing powers were measured for the ¹³C(p, p′) reaction. The data are generally well accounted for by DWBA calculations except for the $^{13} C(p, p′)^{13} C (3.09 MeV, 12^{+})$ reaction, for which the calculations cannot even reproduce the qualitative features of the data. A comparison of the (p, n) and the (p, p′) results suggests that the isoscalar part of the $^{13} C (g.s., 12^{−}) →^{13} C (3.09 MeV, 12^{+})$ transition is not correctly described by currently available shell-model wave functions.

Validation of elastic cross section models for space radiation applications

Citation Excerpt :
There is an abundance of elastic [56–70], reaction [56,71–129], and total cross section [56,58,69,70,130–146] data; therefore, these data have been used for validation of the model. An accurate representation of the available elastic differential cross section data [142,147–283] is also presented; however, there is a paucity of nucleus-nucleus differential cross section data for energies greater than a few hundred MeV/n. This manuscript proceeds as follows.
The space radiation field is composed of energetic particles that pose both acute and long-term risks for astronauts in low earth orbit and beyond. In order to estimate radiation risk to crew members, the fluence of particles and biological response to the radiation must be known at tissue sites. Given that the spectral fluence at the boundary of the shielding material is characterized, radiation transport algorithms may be used to find the fluence of particles inside the shield and body, and the radio-biological response is estimated from experiments and models. The fidelity of the radiation spectrum inside the shield and body depends on radiation transport algorithms and the accuracy of the nuclear cross sections. In a recent study, self-consistent nuclear models based on multiple scattering theory that include the option to study relativistic kinematics were developed for the prediction of nuclear cross sections for space radiation applications. The aim of the current work is to use uncertainty quantification to ascertain the validity of the models as compared to a nuclear reaction database and to identify components of the models that can be improved in future efforts.

Depolarization in proton-6Li elastic scattering
1994, Nuclear Physics, Section A
We have measured the differential cross section dσ/dΩ, the analyzing power A_y and the depolarization parameter D for p-⁶Li elastic scattering at 72 MeV. The spin/isospin character of this transition and the large spinflip effects observed make p-⁶Li elastic scattering a good case to study the isoscalar spinflip component of the effective force. The data were fitted by a conventional optical-model potential which included a real, spherical spin-spin potential with surface form factor and V_ss = 5.3 ± 1.0 MeV. A qualitative description of the data was also achieved with a “semi-microscopic” folding calculation based on the density-dependent Paris effective force, shell-model wave functions and a phenomenological optical-model potential.
The 16O(p,p′) reaction at 35 MeV
1990, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The ¹⁶O( $p, p ′$ ) reaction was studied with a 35 MeV polarized proton beam. The cross sections and analyzing powers for excited states in ¹⁶O up to and including the 2⁻, T = 1 state at 12.97 MeV were measured and compared with DWBA calculations. Both density-independent and densitydependent effective interactions were used in the calculations. Transition densities calculated using shell-model amplitudes and Woods-Saxon single-particle wave functions give poor accounts of the data. The use of macroscopic transition densities obtained from electron scattering data give a much better description of the data, especially when used in combination with the densitydependent interaction.
Structure of 14c studied by the 14c(p,d)13c reaction
1990, Nuclear Physics, Section A
Cross sections for the neutron pickup reaction ¹⁴C(p, d)¹³C were measured at E_p = 35.0 MeV for the states below E = 10 MeV, and at E_p = 40.1 MeV for the states between E_x = 11 and 18 MeV. Obtained angular distributions were compared with exact finite-range DWBA calculations to extract spectroscopic factors. Second-order DWBA calculations were also made in some cases. Almost full $0p_{12}$ strength was found, while the observed $0p_{32}$ strength was 80% of the simple sum-rule limit. The main part of the remaining strength was found in the $0d_{52}$ orbit, and, in a lesser degree, in the $1s_{12}$ and $0d_{32}$ orbits. Small fractions of the $0f_{52}$ and $Og_{92}$ strengths were also necessary to explain the angular-distribution shapes and the cross-section magnitudes of the predominantly multistep transitions to the $5− 2$ and $5+ 2$ states.
The spectroscopy of 13C by inelastic proton scattering
1988, Nuclear Physics, Section A
At 135 MeV incident energy, differential proton scattering cross sections have been measured for many states of ¹³C, up to 23 MeV in excitation. These data are supplemented by analysing power data for states up to 10 MeV in excitation, measured at 119 MeV incident energy. Distorted wave analysis using a density-dependent form of the nucleon-nucleon interaction has provided a thorough assessment of the model predictions of the nuclear structure of many of these excited states.
