Inelastic hadron diffraction refers to quasi-elastic transitions in which the colliding particles conserve their dominant quantum numbers. High energy of collision facilitates to satisfy the condition of coherence thus assuring that interaction does not change the character of the particles. High energy elastic scattering of hadrons is thus generally built of: i) elastic diffraction which resul...

Conditions likely to lead to enhanced inelastic atomic scattering that creates shear horizontal (SH) and longitudinal acoustic (LA) monolayer phonons are identified, specifically examining the inelastic scattering of (4)He atoms by a monolayer solid of XePt(111) at incident energies of 2-25 meV. There is strong inelastic scattering for both dispersive phonon branches (SH and LA) of the monolaye...

Motivated by a recent study by Lazarian and Draine, which showed that a high degree of grain alignment of the paramagnetic dust is achievable if the rates of internal relaxation are controlled by the Barnett relaxation process, we undertake a study of an alternative mechanism of internal dissipation, namely, the inelastic dissipation of energy in oblate dust grains. We find that deformations at...

Within the thermodynamic framework with internal variables, the classical Hamilton’s principle for elastic bodies is extended to inelastic bodies composed of materials whose free energy densities are point functions of internal variables, or the so-termed Green-inelastic bodies, subject to finite deformation and non-conservative external forces. Yet this general result holds true even without t...

The general framework of diffractive deep inelastic scattering is introduced and reports given in the session on diffractive interactions at the International Workshop on Deep-Inelastic Scattering and Related Phenomena, Rome, April 1996, are presented.

differences between stress-based and strain-based criteria are investigated in seismic performance evaluation of the arch dams in time domain. a numerical model of the coupled dam-reservoir-foundation system is prepared with the finite element technique. reservoir is modeled using the eulerian approach as a compressible domain, and the foundation rock is assumed to be massless. dynamic equilibr...

We study the break-up of B in collisions with heavy-ions. The process is described in terms of inelastic excitations leading to states in the continuum. The effects of the nuclear and Coulomb fields induced by the reaction partner are included on the same footing in the microscopic construction of the transition matrix elements. At variance with previous findings, the contribution of the nuclea...

The cross sections of inelastic neutron acceleration have been obtained from the excitation curves for ’ * %r’ and ’ ’ 5mIn using the principle of detailed balance, and have been calculated theoretically. The average energy transferred to the neutron in a single collision is positive below 0.25 MeV and both isomers are not the usual moderators, but are the “accelerators” of neutrons. If a neutr...

Fusion cross section measurements in nuclear reactions of heavy nuclei consistently fall below model predictions at energies both well below and above the fusion barrier. Understanding the physical mechanisms leading to this fusion suppression has been one of the major challenges in nuclear reaction physics [6, 7, 1]. It is crucial for a consistent understanding of nuclear reactions involving b...

Different aspects of the Gribov–Glauber approach for calculation of inclusive pion double charge exchange (DCX) on nuclei are investigated. Recently we have shown that inelastic rescatterings (IR) with two (and more) pions in the intermediate states give an important contribution to the process of DCX at energies above ∼ 0.6 GeV. In this paper we use the one pion exchange model to study in deta...
