The HIPSE (heavy-ion phase-space exploration) model, by Lacroix et al., has been used to examine nucleon transfer during the interaction of the projectile and target [1]. The results of the HIPSE model were compared to experimental data obtained on the FAUST array (Forward Array Using Silicon Technology) for F + Ag, F + Au, Na + Au, and Ne + Au at 32 MeV/u [2]. The apparent mass change of the p...

We have measured the scattering angle dependence of cross sections for ionization in p+H2 collisions for a fixed projectile energy loss. Depending on the projectile coherence, interference due to indistinguishable diffraction of the projectile from the two atomic centers was either present or absent in the data. This shows that, due to the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, the preparation of t...

BACKGROUND Vascular embolization of a projectile discharged from a weapon is a rare event. In this report a hunter's errant gunshot struck a farmer in the left chest. CASE REPORT The projectile was lodged between the apex of the heart and the diaphragm. The patient was treated non-operatively and was discharged home only to return to the emergency department with chest pain and subsequent ide...

A series of simulations were carried out to reproduce unsteady combustion around the hypervelocity cylindrical projectiles. A simplified two-step chemical reaction model was used to handle the reactions behind the bow shock. The simulations were examined with various parameters, such as projectile speed, initial pressure, and projectile diameter, and the unsteady mode of the Large-Disturbance r...
