Inclusive Scattering of 500-MeV Protons and Pionic Enhancement of the Nuclear Sea-Quark Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
%e have measured a complete set of polarization-transfer observables in the inclusive scattering of 500-MeV protons from 'H and Pb at q =1.75 fm '., Axial longitudinal and transverse response functions derived from these data show no differences between Pb and H. This implies no enhancement of the nuclear pion field in heavy nuclei and consequently that models of the low-x 3 dependence of certain nuclear structure functions requiring such an enhancement are unlikely to be correct.

Continuum polarization transfer in 500 MeV proton scattering and pionic collectivity in nuclei.
A complete set of polarization transfer observables was measured for inclusive 500 MeV proton scattering fram H, Ca(nat. ), and Pb(nat. ) at 8„&——18.5' (q=1.75 fm '). The excitation energy ranged over the entire quasielastic peak from 20 to 100 MeV. Longitudinal and transverse spin-flip probabilities were extracted from the data. These have simple model-dependent connections to the spin-longitu...
متن کاملThe uncertainties due to quark energy loss on determining nuclear sea quark distribution from nuclear Drell-Yan data
By means of two different parametrizations of quark energy loss and the nuclear parton distributions determined only with lepton-nuclear deep inelastic scattering experimental data, a leading order phenomenological analysis is performed on the nuclear Drell-Yan differential cross section ratios as a function of the quark momentum fraction in the beam proton and target nuclei for E772 experiment...
متن کاملRevealing Nuclear Pions Using Electron Scattering
A model for the pionic components of nuclear wave functions is obtained from light front dynamical calculations of binding energies and densities. The pionic effects are small enough to be consistent with measured nuclear dimuon production data and with the nucleon sea. But the pion effects are large enough to predict substantial nuclear enhancement of the cross section for longitudinally polar...

Introduction: High-energy beams of protons offer significant advantages for the treatment of deepseated local tumors. Their physical depth-dose distribution in tissue is characterized by a small entrance dose and a distinct maximum -Bragg peak- near the end of range with a sharp fall-off at the distal edge. Alongside its advantages there are some point that they need to meticul...

Fission of 238U nuclei was performed by 45-69 MeV protons at the Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center of Tohoku University in Japan. The fission products originated in the reaction were identified by using gamma spectroscopy. The experimental data show that the charge distribution of isobar fission products follows a Gaussian distribution with a standard deviation independent of the selected mass...
