K+ nuclei interactions according to the optical model

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

The optical model has been applied to the scattering of K+-mesons by nuclei. We have determined the nuclear potentialV n following two different procedures: the first consists in the calculation of the elastic K+-nucleus cross-sections as functions ofV n ; the second connectsV n with the total inelastic K+-nucleus cross-section through the elementary K+-nucleon interaction, described by means of a Yukawa potential. The results obtained in the two cases are very similar.

Riassunto

È stato applicato il modello ottico allo scattering dei mesoni K+ da parte dei nuclei Si è determinato il potenziale nucleareV n seguendo due procedimenti diversi: il primo consiste nel calcolo delle sezioni d’urto di scattering elastico K+-nucleo in funzione diV n ; il secondo collegaV n , attraverso l’interazione elementare K+-nucleone, descritta mediante un potenziale di Yukawa, alla sezione d’urto totale anelastica K+-nucleo. Si ottengono nei due casi risultati molto simili.
