Radiative capture of polarized neutrons by polarized protons

A model-independent irreducible tensor approach to p(n,gamma)d is presented and an explicit form for the spin-structure of the matrix for the reaction is obtained in terms of the Pauli spin-matrices for the neutron and the proton. Expressing the multipole amplitudes in terms of the triplet --> triplet and singlet --> triplet transitions, we point out how the initial singlet and triplet contributions to the differential cross section can be determined empirically.Comment: Revised version; typeset using RevTeX4; 6 pages, no figure

Phase ambiguity of the threshold amplitude in pp -> pp\pi^0

Measurements of spin observables in pp -> {\vec p}{\vec p}\pi^0 are suggested to remove the phase ambiguity of the threshold amplitude. The suggested measurements complement the IUCF data on {\vec p}{\vec p} -> pp\pi^0 to completely determine all the twelve partial wave amplitudes, taken into consideration by Mayer et.al. [15] and Deepak, Haidenbauer and Hanhart [20].Comment: 4 pages, 1 table

Fluctuations of light intensity in coron Æ formed by diffraction

The fluctuations of light intensity in the diffraction corona produced by a large number of randomly distributed particles are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The theoretical considerations show that the view put forward by de Haas is inadequate and that really the fluctuations arise owing to the interference of the waves diffracted by all the particles, which gives rise to a large number of sharp images of the source in monochromatic light. In white light, these spots must spread out, and produce radial streaks. These deductions from theory are all borne out by experiment

Spin observables and reconstruction of pi-d elastic-scattering amplitudes in transverse frame

The authors show that the measurement of only eight real parameters consisting of the differential cross section y0, the analysing power T20 and the polarisation transfer observables Cx,x, Cx,y, Cy,y, Cx,xz, Cx,yz and Cy,xz are sufficient for the complete determination of pi -d elastic scattering amplitudes in the transverse frame

Empirical Determination of Threshold Partial Wave Amplitudes in pp→ppωp p \to p p \omega

Using the model independent irreducible tensor approach to $\omega$ production in $pp$ collisions, we show theoretically that, it is advantageous to measure experimentally the polarization of $\omega$, in addition to the proposed experimental study employing a polarized beam and a polarized target.Comment: 6 pages, 1 Table, Latex-2

On the crystal symmetry of diamond and its X-ray reflections

The problem of the symmetry of the diamond structure in relation to its X-ray behaviour is considered in a formal manner. It is shown that the presence or absence of the 200 or the 222 reflection cannot uniquely decide whether the symmetry is tetrahedral or octahedral. The 200 reflection is shown to be absent if the structure is either completely symmetric or antisymmetric with respect to the centre of inversion at 1/8, 1/8, 1/8 or if the two distributions are superposed in any arbitrary ratio. The 222 reflection is, however, absent only in the fully antisymmetric case. Making use of these results, the nature of the structures that are possible for the tetrahedral and the octahedral modifications of diamond are discussed
