Proton-proton Scattering


Book Description

Revised experimental values are given for the differential cross section for proton-proton scattering at energies of 1.397, 1.855, 2.425, and 3.037 MeV. These result from the consolidation and re-evaluation of all published and unpublished data obtained in an experiment reported earlier by Knecht, et al. Phase shift analyses have been made.













Proton-proton Scattering in Lattice Effective Field Theory


Book Description

Effective Field Theory (EFT) provides a systematic framework to study nuclear structure at low energy. The present work uses EFT to study the Coulomb effects in protonproton scattering. The Coulomb phase shift for elastic scattering is calculated. The calculation done here are on a lattice with periodic boundary conditions, and has a hard spherical wall imposed on it. The scattering inside the sphere produces spherical standing waves, the properties of which are exploited to calculate the phase shift and then compared with known theoretical calculations.
