Summary
Nuclear scattering of K- mesons of an average energy of 21 MeV has been measured inG5 nuclear emulsion. An optical model calculation of the differential and total reaction cross-sections has been performed. Comparison of experiment and theory supports the conclusion reached at higher K- meson energies that the nuclear optical potential is attractive.
Riassunto
Si è misurato in enmulsione nucleare G5 lo scattering nucleare di mesoni K- d’energia media 21 MeV. Si è eseguito un calcolo, basato su un modello ottico, delle sezioni d’urto della reazione differenziale e totale. Il confronto dell’esperimento con la teoria avvalora la conclusione, raggiunta ad energie dei K- maggiori, che il potenziale ottico nucleare è attrattivo.
