  • 12 Scattering in Three Dimensions
    12 Scattering in three dimensions 12.1 Cross sections and geometry Most experiments in physics consist of sending one particle to collide with another, and looking at what comes out. The quantity we can usually measure is the scattering cross section: by analogy with classical scattering of hard spheres, we assuming that scattering occurs if the particles ‘hit’ each other. The cross section is the apparent ‘target area’. The total scattering cross section can be determined by the reduction in intensity of a beam of particles passing through a region on ‘targets’, while the differential scattering cross section requires detecting the scattered particles at different angles. We will use spherical polar coordinates, with the scattering potential located at the origin and the plane wave incident flux parallel to the z direction. In this coordinate system, scattering processes dσ are symmetric about φ, so dΩ will be independent of φ. We will also use a purely classical concept, the impact parameter b which is defined as the distance of the incident particle from the z-axis prior to scattering. S(k) δΩ I(k) θ z φ Figure 11: Standard spherical coordinate geometry for scattering 12.2 The Born Approximation We can use time-dependent perturbation theory to do an approximate calculation of the cross- section. Provided that the interaction between particle and scattering centre is localised to the region around r = 0, we can regard the incident and scattered particles as free when they are far from the scattering centre. We just need the result that we obtained for a constant perturbation, Fermi’s Golden Rule, to compute the rate of transitions between the initial state (free particle of momentum p) to the final state (free particle of momentum p0).

  • 3 Scattering Theory
    3 Scattering theory In order to find the cross sections for reactions in terms of the interactions between the reacting nuclei, we have to solve the Schr¨odinger equation for the wave function of quantum mechanics. Scattering theory tells us how to find these wave functions for the positive (scattering) energies that are needed. We start with the simplest case of finite spherical real potentials between two interacting nuclei in section 3.1, and use a partial wave anal- ysis to derive expressions for the elastic scattering cross sections. We then progressively generalise the analysis to allow for long-ranged Coulomb po- tentials, and also complex-valued optical potentials. Section 3.2 presents the quantum mechanical methods to handle multiple kinds of reaction outcomes, each outcome being described by its own set of partial-wave channels, and section 3.3 then describes how multi-channel methods may be reformulated using integral expressions instead of sets of coupled differential equations. We end the chapter by showing in section 3.4 how the Pauli Principle re- quires us to describe sets identical particles, and by showing in section 3.5 how Maxwell’s equations for electromagnetic field may, in the one-photon approximation, be combined with the Schr¨odinger equation for the nucle- ons. Then we can describe photo-nuclear reactions such as photo-capture and disintegration in a uniform framework. 3.1 Elastic scattering from spherical potentials When the potential between two interacting nuclei does not depend on their relative orientiation, we say that this potential is spherical. In that case, the only reaction that can occur is elastic scattering, which we now proceed to calculate using the method of expansion in partial waves.

The present status of fusion reactions involving light (A<20) radioactive projectiles at energies around the Coulomb barrier (E<10 MeV per nucleon) is reviewed, emphasizing measurements made within the last decade. Data on elastic scattering (providing total reaction cross section information) and breakup channels for the involved systems, demonstrating the relationship between these and the fusion channel, are also reviewed. Similarities and differences in the behavior of fusion and total reaction cross section data concerning halo nuclei, weakly-bound but less exotic projectiles, and strongly-bound systems are discussed. One difference in the behavior of fusion excitation functions near the Coulomb barrier seems to emerge between neutron-halo and proton-halo systems. The role of charge has been investigated by comparing the fusion excitation functions, properly scaled, for different neutron- and proton-rich systems. Possible physical explanations for the observed differences are also reviewed.
