Simple function forms and nucleon-nucleus total cross sections

Total cross sections for neutron scattering with energies between 10 and 600 MeV and from nine nuclei spanning the mass range from 6Li to 238U have been analyzed using a simple function of three parameters. The values of those parameters with which neutron total cross section data are replicated vary smoothly with energy and target mass and may themselves be represented by functions of energy and mass.Comment: 15 pages, 9 figure

A simple functional form for proton-208{}^{208}Pb total reaction cross sections

A simple functional form has been found that gives a good representation of the total reaction cross sections for the scattering from ${}^{208}$Pb of protons with energies in the range 30 to 300 MeV.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure

Simple Problems: The Simplicial Gluing Structure of Pareto Sets and Pareto Fronts

Quite a few studies on real-world applications of multi-objective optimization reported that their Pareto sets and Pareto fronts form a topological simplex. Such a class of problems was recently named the simple problems, and their Pareto set and Pareto front were observed to have a gluing structure similar to the faces of a simplex. This paper gives a theoretical justification for that observation by proving the gluing structure of the Pareto sets/fronts of subproblems of a simple problem. The simplicity of standard benchmark problems is studied.Comment: 10 pages, accepted at GECCO'17 as a poster paper (2 pages

Simple function form for n+208Pb total cross section between 5 and 600 MeV

The total cross section for neutron scattering from 208Pb with energies between 5 and 600 MeV has been analyzed extending a previously defined simple function of three parameters to reveal a Ramsauer-like effect throughout the whole energy range. This effect can be parametrized in a simple way so that it may be anticipated that the complete function prescription will apply for total cross sections from other nuclei.Comment: 9 pages, 4 firgure

A simple functional form for proton-nucleus total reaction cross sections

A simple functional form has been found that gives a good representation of the total reaction cross sections for the scattering of protons from (15) nuclei spanning the mass range ${}^{9}$Be to ${}^{238}$U and for proton energies ranging from 20 to 300 MeV.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figures, bib fil
