Deep inelastic neutron scattering experiments using indirect time-of-flight spectrometers have reported a smaller cross section for the hydrogen atom than expected from conventional scattering theory. Typically, at large momentum transfers,…
The paper in the title [1] reports measurements of neutron scattering from hydrogen in the 1-100 eV range of energy transfers, using the direct geometry MARI spectrometer at ISIS. Stock et al claim that their measurements have better or…
The design of moderators and cold sources of neutrons is a key point in research-reactor physics, requiring extensive knowledge of the scattering properties of very important light molecular liquids such as methane, hydrogen and their…
There has been renewed interest in the possibility that dark matter exists in the form of atoms, analogous to those of the visible world. An important input for understanding the cosmological consequences of dark atoms is their…
This study outlines a numerical methodology aimed at rectifying the neutron scattering cross-sections of fundamental elements across a range of low neutron energies typically employed in general neutron scattering experiments. By using the…
Liquid hydrogen is a dense Bose fluid whose equilibrium properties are both calculable from first principles using various theoretical approaches and of interest for the understanding of a wide range of questions in many body physics.…
Neutron Compton Scattering measurements in a variety of materials have shown a relative deficit in the total signal from hydrogen compared to deuterium and heavier ions. We show here that a breakdown in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation in…
We present correct solution of the problem about a scattering of the neutron on a point-like defect existing in a medium and show that this mechanism cannot explain anomalous losses of UCN in storage bottles.
Measurements of neutron total cross-sections are both extensive and extremely accurate. Although they place a strong constraint on theoretically constructed models, there are relatively few comparisons of predictions with experiment. The…
We report on results of the effective theory method applied to neutron-deuteron scattering. We extend previous results in the $J=3/2$ channel to non-zero energies and find very good agreement with experiment without any parameter fitting.
We comment some recent unexpected experimental results on proton/deuteron deep inelastic scattering off water molecules in H2O-D2O mixtures (C.A. Chatzidimitrou-Dreismann et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 2839 (1997)) where a strong dependence of…
In many astrophysical objects an account for scattering of the X-ray fluorescent and resonance lines of iron ions by the electrons, bound in atomic and molecular hydrogen is important. Specific distortions of the scattered line profile…
The lack of accurate low-energy electron scattering cross sections for liquid water is a substantial source of uncertainty in the modelling of radiation chemistry and biology. The use of existing amorphous ice scattering cross sections for…
We report measurements of the electron drift mobility in dense argon gas over an extended range of densities, temperatures, and electric fields, supplementing our earlier work. The measurements confirm the validity of the heuristic model we…
We discuss as accurately as possible the cross section of quasi-elastic scattering of electron (anti-)neutrinos on nucleons, also known as inverse beta decay in the case of antineutrinos. We focus on the moderate energy range from a few MeV…
We analyze a recent work of Mayers and Abdul-Redah,[J.Phys.: Condens. Matter {\bf 16}, 4811 (2004)] in which the autors report the existence of anomalous neutron cross sections in several systems. In the present work we show that the Deep…
We give a prove of evidence that the original power counting by Weinberg can be applied to estimate the contributions of the operators contributing to the pi-deuteron scattering length. As a consequence, pi-deuteron observables can be used…
The differential cross section for scattering of the astrophysically important X-ray emission lines by a helium atom is calculated with an accuracy sufficient for astrophysical applications. For a helium atom an energy ``gap'' (due to the…
The effect of "anomalous" scattering of neutrons and electrons from protons in the electron-volt energy-transfer range is considered, and related experimental results are mentioned. A recent independent confirmation of this effect with a…
We report the first measurement of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (\cevns) on argon using a liquid argon detector at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Spallation Neutron Source. Two independent analyses prefer \cevns over the…
