Exchange Cross Sections for Hard Binaries
نویسنده
چکیده
We present results on the exchange cross section for the interaction between a hard binary and a field of single stars, for arbitrary masses. The results are based partly on extensive numerical scattering experiments, and partly on analytic estimates of the mass-dependence of the cross section. They can be used to estimate the rate of exchange in an arbitrary mixture of masses, provided that the binary is hard.

Binary-single-star Scattering — Vii. Hard Binary Exchange Cross Sections for Arbitrary Mass Ratios: Numerical Results and Semi-analytic Fits
We present the first comprehensive fitting formula for exchange reactions of arbitrary mass ratios. In a comparison with numerical results, this expression is shown to be accurate in the hard binary limit to within 25% for most mass ratios. The result will be useful in forming quantitative estimates for the branching ratios of various exchange reactions in astrophysical applications. For exampl...
متن کاملBinary–single-star Scattering — Vi. Automatic Determination of Interaction Cross Sections
Scattering encounters between binaries and single stars play a central role in determining the dynamical evolution of a star cluster. In addition, three-body scattering can give rise to many interesting exceptional objects: merging can produce blue stragglers; exchange can produce binaries containing millisecond pulsars in environments quite different from those in which the pulsars were spun u...
متن کاملResummation in Heavy Quark and Jet Cross Sections
We discuss corrections from the elastic limit (partonic threshold) in hadronic hard-scattering cross sections. We show why these corrections can be large at all orders in perturbation theory, and describe their resummation to arbitrary logarithmic accuracy. In particular, we discuss the role of color exchange in the hard scattering. This enables us to generalize the resummation of the Drell-Yan...
متن کاملPomeron flux renormalization in soft and hard diffraction
While the main features of elastic, diffractive and total cross sections are described well by Regge theory, the measured rise of the proton-(anti)proton single diffraction dissociation cross section with energy is considerably smaller than the theoretical prediction based on factorization and a constant triplepomeron coupling. The observed energy dependence is obtained by renormalizing the pom...
متن کاملA stochastic Monte Carlo approach to model real star cluster evolution , III . Direct integrations of three - and four - body interactions
Spherically symmetric equal mass star clusters containing a large amount of primordial binaries are studied using a hybrid method, consisting of a gas dynamical model for single stars and a Monte Carlo treatment for relaxation of binaries and the setup of close resonant and fly-by encounters of single stars with binaries and binaries with each other (threeand four-body encounters). What differs...
