Elastic and Inelastic Scattering ofαParticles and Protons fromSm144

Elastic scattering of protons and their structure

The experimental data about elastic scattering of protons and their theoretical interpretations are briefly reviewed. The time delay between the conference and preparation of the manuscript allowed me to modify it and include more recent important results. Some modern problems of elastic scattering of hadrons newly revealed by experimental data obtained at the LHC are discussed. Among them are ...

Localization in elastic and inelastic scattering.

The degree of information localization in elastic and inelastic scattering is examined in the context of imaging zone axis crystals in the aberration corrected STEM. We show that detector geometry is a critical factor in determining the localization, and compare a number of different geometries. Experimental core loss line traces demonstrate strong EELS localization at the titanium L-edge, even...

Deep inelastic scattering and “elastic” diffraction

We examine the total cross section of virtual photons on protons, σγ∗p(W , Q), at low x ∼= Q/W 2 ≪ 1 and its connection with “elastic” diffractive production γ T,Lp → X T,L p in the two-gluon exchange dynamics for the virtual forward Compton scattering amplitude. Solely based on the generic structure of twogluon exchange, we establish that the cross section is described by the (imaginary part o...

Elastic and Inelastic Scattering at Low and Intermediate Energies

A review is made of recent experiments and analysis concerning elastic and inelastic scattering in which polarization phenomena play a crucial role. Topics involving light ions and intermediate energies are emphasized.
