Abstract

Experimental data on the pion-nucleus total cross sections are analysed in terms of the dual diffractive resonance (DDR) mechanism. The DDR predictions are found to agree well with the actual experimental data in the region corresponding to the Δ(1236) resonance in elementary πN scattering.

Description of quantum scattering via principle of minimum distance in the space of states
1996, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
In this paper the principle of minimum distance (PMD) in the space of the scattering states, is investigated. The PMD in the space of states give a satisfactory account for the description of a universal quantum diffraction of any material particle: displaying a pronounced forward diffraction peak, as well as periodic side maxima and minima. It was proved that the optimal states obtained via PMD are the most forward-peaked states. The experimental tests of the principle of minimum distance in the space of states, are presented. Then, a systematics of the actual experimental data of all PP, $P P$ , K^±P, π^±P, scatterings at all energies higher than 2 GeV, via PMD predictions on optimal scaling functions and optimal logarithmic slopes, is obtained.
Information entropies in pion-nucleon scattering and optimal states analysis
1995, Physics Letters B
The (angle and angular momenta) information entropies as well as the entropic angle-angular momentum uncertainty relations in hadron-hadron scattering are introduced. The experimental information entropies for the pion-nucleon scattering are calculated by using the available phase shifts analyses. These results are compared with the information entropies of the optimal states. Then, the optimal state dominance in pion-nucleon scattering is systematically observed for all P_lab = 0.02–10 GeV/c. Moreover, it is shown that the angle-angular momentum entropic uncertainty relations are satisfied with high accuracy by all the experimental information entropies.
VHEGR/UHEGR produced by Cherenkov mechanisms in cosmic sources
1994, Astroparticle Physics
The possibility of nuclear gamma Cherenkov radiation (NGCR) produced by charged particles (e.g. leptons, protons etc.) passing through a nuclear medium is investigated with a view to astrophysical implications. It is shown that due to its coherence property the NGCR can be one of the most favourite mechanisms for the production of gamma rays in some important VHEGR/UHEGR cosmic sources (e.g. Crab, Vela Pulsars, Cygnus X-3, Vela X-1). For the identification of the NGCR nature of parts of the observed gamma ray fluxes more experimental data are needed, and in addition polarization measurements are suggested.
Spontaneous pion emission as a new natural radioactivity
1986, Annals of Physics
In this paper the pionic nuclear radioactivity or spontaneous poin emission by a nucleus from its ground state is investigated. The Q_π-values as well as the statistical factors are calculated using the experimental masses tabulated by Wapstra and Audi. Then it was shown that the pionic radioactivity of the nuclear ground state is energetically possible via three-body channels for all nuclides with Z > 80. This new type of natural radioactivity is statistically favored especially for Z = 92 − 106 for which $F_{π} F_{SF} = 40 − 200 [MeV]^{2}$ . Experimental detection of the neutral pion and also some possible emission mechanisms are discussed.
