For the first time the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (BHF) method was applied to nuclei whose intrinsic structure is nonspherical. One aim was to investigate whether the energy dependent reaction matrix calculated from a realistic nucleon-nucleon interaction leads to deformations similar to, or different from, those obtained from energy independent interactions in Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations. Reaction matrix elements were calculated as a function of starting energy for the Hamada-Johnston interaction, using a Pauli operator appropriate to O-16 and a shifted oscillator spectrum for virtual excited states. Binding energies, single-particle energies, radii, and shape deformations of the intrinsic state in unrenormalized as well as renormalized BHF are discussed and compared with previous HF studies. Results are presented for C-12, O-16, and Ne-20.
Gamma-ray production cross section by the inelastic scattering of neutrons from light nuclei are considered. The applicability of optical model potential is discussed. Based on experimental data, a cascade approach is developed to calculate the inelastic gamma production cross sections. In the case of O-16 using computer code LINGAP in conjunction with ABACUS-2; results are compared with reported values.
Cosmic ray Li, Be, and B nuclei have been measured using two new detectors, a large-area dE dx-E-Range telescope and a dE dx-Cerenkov-Range telescope. The L/M ratio is found to be 0.23 plus or minus 0.01, essentially constant with energy between 100 MeV/nuc to more than 2 BeV/nuc. Other findings are presented and discussed.
Measurement of the abundances of the nuclei C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, Ar, and Ca and the group Cr-Co relative to oxygen from seven solar energetic-particle events in the energy range from about 14 to 61 MeV per nucleon with a solid-state detector telescope on the OGO-5 satellite, 1968-1971. The differential energy spectra of O (14 to 29 MeV per nucleon) and Cr-Co (3 to 61 MeV per nucleon) have a spectral index of about (-3) for a power law in kinetic energy. The relative abundances of C, N, O, and Ne are in excellent agreement with emulsion studies. However, when compared with the solar photospheric and coronal abundances, the OGO-5 measurements show a large enhancement of relative abundances beginning with Si, and extending to the Cr-Co group. The enhancement over the solar and universal abundances is in rough agreement with the composition of the galactic cosmic radiation.
Consideration of galaxies of the types described by Seyfert, Zwicky, Markarian and others. Quasars are discussed in terms of their similarities to the nuclei of peculiar galaxies. The data discussed were obtained almost exclusively with photoelectric spectrometers. Peculiar galaxies have a wide range of properties insofar as their spectra are concerned. Many have very strong emission lines. Sources of continuous radiation, and distance scale problems and selection effects are discussed. Data are presented which are representative of spectrophotometric observational results for 12 Markarian galaxies, 14 Zwicky compact objects, and 16 radio galaxies. The general properties of spectral energy distributions of peculiar galaxies and quasars are discussed.
