Virtual versus real nuclear Compton scattering in the Delta(1232) region
1996
[EN] In this paper we calculate the cross section for Virtual Compton Scattering off nuclei in the delta resonance region. We also calculate the background for the process from Coherent Bremsstrahlung in nuclei and explore the regions where the Virtual Compton Scattering cross section dominates. The study also shows that it is possible to extract the cross section for Real Compton Scattering from the Virtual Compton one in a wide range of scattering angles.
Determination of the total photo-absorption cross section of 197Au from () reaction cross sections
1984
Abstract Cross sections for the reactions 197Au ( γ, ℩ n ) (x ⩽ 12) have been measured for bremsstrahlung end-point energies in the range 60–340 MeV. From these dominant cross sections, the total photon absorption cross section is determined using a cascade-evaporation calculation to account for the missing reaction channels. The enhancement factor for the classical E1 sum rule is found to be 0.93 ± 0.10.
Planar channeling experiments with electrons at the 855MeV Mainz Microtron MAMI
2008
Abstract Planar channeling has been studied for silicon single crystals at a beam energy of 855 MeV at the Mainz Microtron MAMI. Complex channeling patterns were observed from which the crystal orientation can unambiguously be determined. Photon spectra at (1 0 0), (1 1 0) and (1 1 1) planar channeling were recorded with a 10″ × 10″ NaI detector. The planar (1 1 0) channeling process has been studied as function of the crystal thickness in the range between 7.9 and 270 μm from which a dechanneling length of 18.0 μm and the thickness dependent rechanneling lengths were deduced, employing solutions of the Fokker–Planck equation. A signal derived from high energy bremsstrahlung exhibits a char…
The decay of 8.7 min237Pa
1974
The beta and gamma radiations of237Pa have been investigated employing semiconductor and scintillation spectrometers and coincidence techniques. Sources of237Pa were obtained after bombardments of238U with bremsstrahlung and 14-MeV neutrons and subsequent chemical separation. From the total of 18γ-rays following the decay of 8.7±0.2 min237Pa 17 transitions, representing 99.9% of theγ-ray intensity, could be placed in a level scheme of237U. AQ β- value of 2.25±0.1 MeV has been determined.
Bremsstrahlung and the underlying event structure
1990
Abstract In this talk we address the problem of the structure of the underlying event and its dependence upon a specific trigger. Generally speaking, events selected without any special trigger, like the minimum bias events, need not have the same characteristics as those selected by the jet trigger or through the W and Z-boson selection criteria. We use perturbative QCD in order to unfold part of the structure. In particular we concentrate on the contribution to the underlying event structure which comes from initial state bremsstrahlung. In the present paper we discuss the relationship between transverse momentum and transverse energy for W and Z-boson production both in the low as well a…
Spectroscopy of excited state positronium
1994
Electric dipole transitions in the microwave range have been induced between the fine-structure levels of positronium in the excited staten=2. As an indication of the transitions, we used the increase in Lyman-α radiation when the metastable 23S1-level is depopulated. The results for the transitions 23S1→23P0,1,2 areΝ 0=18499.65±1.20±4.00 MHz,Ν 1=13012.42 ±0.65±1.54 MHz andΝ 2=8624.38±0.54±1.40 MHz. The first error is statistical and the second systematic. The precision of the present measurement has improved by a factor of 3, compared to previous data. Recent bound state QED-calculations have been extended to the orderR t8 α 4lnα −1. The not yet completely calculated orderR t8 α 4 is estim…

First measurement of target and beam-target asymmetries in theγp→π0ηpreaction
2015
The first data on target and beam-target asymmetries for the gamma p -> pi(0)eta p reaction at photon energies from 1050 up to 1450 MeV are presented. The measurements were performed using the Crystal Ball and TAPS detector setup at the Glasgow tagged photon facility of the Mainz Microtron MAMI. The general assumption that the reaction is dominated by the Delta 3/2-amplitude is confirmed. The data are in particular sensitive to small contributions from other partial waves.
Physics at MAMI
2008
The Mainz Microtron MAMI has delivered a high quality electron beam with maximum energy of 880MeV for many years. Recently the MAMI C stage with its maximum energy of 1.5GeV was put into operation successfully and is delivering beam routinely now. The A1 collaboration is doing electron scattering experiments with a “Three Spectrometer Setup”. A first experiment using the MAMI C beam to measure the “Recoil polarisation and beam-recoil double polarisation of eta electroproduction on the proton in the region of the S11(1535) resonance” has been finished. A new, very compact magnetic spectrometer (KaoS) suitable especially for the detection of kaons is being installed now. The A2 collaboration …
Results from the Real Photon Programme at MAMI
1995
The accelerator MAMI (Mainzer Mikrotron) with its excellent beam properties and its duty factor of 100% allows to apply coincidence techniques in intermediate energy nuclear physics, which has led to a variety of results with high precision. The real photon collaboration (A2) uses energy tagged bremsstrahlung photons with energies up to 800 MeV. We have results on total photon absorption (proton, deuteron, 3He and U), on Compton scattering (proton, 4He and 12C) and on meson production, especially on π°- and η-photoproduction. Double pion production on the proton and the deuteron was measured. The two and three body breakup of 3He was investigated as well as the reactions (γ,NN) and (γ, π ± …
