Nuclear Physics Research at Intermediate Energies

该奖项涉及使用麻省理工学院贝茨、TRIUMF和IUCF的加速器设施进行的中能核物理研究计划。在MIT-Bates提出了当电子从质子非弹性散射时，在核子的(e，e)共振区发射伽马射线时的伽马射线角关联的测量结果。在TRIUMF和IUCF，将继续进行非弹性质子散射研究，探测到的伽马射线与散射的质子一致。此外，在IUCF，将测量中能质子俘获反应的微分截面和分析功率。这项实验计划是基于使用一个非常大的碘化钠闪烁体光谱仪，该光谱仪已经针对高分辨率探测能量范围高达500 MeV的伽马射线进行了优化。碘化钠闪烁体光谱仪的开发已经通过大学的各种资助成为可能。

This award deals with a program of studies in intermediate energy nuclear physics using the accelerator facilities at MIT- BATES, TRIUMF, and IUCF. At MIT-BATES measurements are proposed of the gamma-ray angular correlation when electrons are scattered from protons inelastically with the emission of a gamma-ray at the (e,e) resonance region of the nucleon. At TRIUMF and IUCF, inelastic proton scattering studies will be continued, with gamma-rays detected in coincidence with the scattered protons. In addition, at IUCF, measurements will be made of the differential cross sections and analyzing powers for the intermediate energy proton capture reaction. This experimental program is based on the use of a very large sodium-iodide scintillator spectrometer which has been optimized for high-resolution detection of gamma-rays in the energy range up to about 500 MeV. The development of the sodium-iodide scintillator spectrometer has been made possible through various university grants.
