Nuclear fragments emitted at 3.5 degrees in 12C fragmentation at 0.6 GeV/nucleon have been measured. The spectra obtained are used for testing the predictions of four ion-ion interaction models: INCL++, BC, LAQGSM03.03 and QMD as well as for the comparison with the analytical parametrization in the framework of thermodynamical picture of fragmentation.
Momentum spectra of hydrogen isotopes have been measured at 3.5 deg from C12 fragmentation on a Be target. Momentum spectra cover both the region of fragmentation maximum and the cumulative region. Differential cross sections span five orders of magnitude. The data are compared to predictions of four Monte Carlo codes: QMD, LAQGSM, BC, and INCL++. There are large differences between the data and predictions of some models in the high momentum region. The INCL++ code gives the best and almost perfect description of the data.
In the FRAGM experiment at heavy ion accelerator complex TWAC-ITEP, the proton yields at an angle 3.5$^\circ$ have been measured at fragmentation of carbon ions at $T_0 = $ 0.6, 0.95 and 2.0 GeV/nucleon on beryllium target. The data are presented as invariant proton yields on cumulative variable $x$ in the range 0.9 < $x$ < 2.4. Proton spectra cover six orders of invariant cross section magnitude. They have been analyzed in the framework of quark cluster fragmentation model. Fragmentation functions of quark-gluon string model are used. The probabilities of the existence of multi-quark clusters in carbon nuclei are estimated to be 8--12% for six-quark clusters and 0.2--0.6% for nine-quark clusters.
The forward inclusive pion double charge exchange reaction, ^{16}O(pi^-,pi^+)X, at T_0 = 0.50 and 0.75 GeV has been studied in the kinematical region where an additional pion production is forbidden by energy-momentum conservation. The experiment was performed with the SKS spectrometer at KEK PS. The measured ratio of double charge exchange cross-section for these energies dsigma(0.50 GeV)/dOmega / dsigma(0.75 GeV)/dOmega = 1.7 +/- 0.2, disagrees with the value of 7.2 predicted within the conventional sequential single charge exchange mechanism. Possible reasons for the disagreement are discussed in connection with the Glauber inelastic rescatterings.
The inclusive pion double charge exchange (DCX) on oxygen nuclei has been measured in the region where additional pion production is kinematically forbidden. The experiment was performed at ITEP PS at incident pi- kinetic energies T_0= 0.59, 0.75 and 1.1 GeV. The integrated forward differential cross section was found to decrease with energy slowly. At 1.1 GeV it exceeds the theoretical prediction within the conventional sequential single charge exchange mechanism with a neutral pion in the intermediate state (Glauber elastic rescattering) by about half an order of magnitude. The sequential mechanism with two pions in the intermediate state (Glauber inelastic rescatterings), which was proposed recently, seems to be able to explain the observed slow energy dependence and allows to predict the DCX cross section for higher energies.
Different aspects of the Gribov--Glauber approach for calculation of inclusive pion double charge exchange (DCX) on nuclei are investigated. Recently we have shown that inelastic rescatterings (IR) with two (and more) pions in the intermediate states give an important contribution to the process of DCX at energies above $\sim0.6 GeV$. In this paper we use the one pion exchange model to study in details amplitudes of two pion production. This allows us to verify theoretical assumptions made in the previous paper and to predict cross section for the forward inclusive pion DCX at energies $\ga1 GeV$, where IR dominate over the conventional DCX mechanism of two sequential single charge exchanges.
In experiment on the study of the quasielastic pion-proton scattering at large momentum transfer on nuclei the proton Fermi-momentum distributions have been analysed in plane-wave approximation for light nuclei $^6$Li, $^7$Li and $^{12}$C. It was found that, contrary to (e,e') experiments, that the oscillator model gives slightly better description of our data than the Fermi - gas model. But the values of parameters of the distributions obtained in our analysis are considerably smaller, than in (e,e') experiments. It gives evidence that the plane-wave approximation is not sufficient and more complicated theoretical models which take into account the effects of distortion of pion-nucleon amplitude in a nuclear medium are necessary for analysis of our data.
This is a collection of proposals of experiments at hadronic beams of 10 GeV accelerator, situated at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics (Moscow, Russia). The proposals were presented by the leaders of several ITEP experimental groups and include selected problems of hadron-hadron (exotic states, scalar mesons, electomagnetic form factors, polarization phenomena etc.) and hadron-nucleon interactions (flucton and nuclear matter properties, hadron properties inside nuclei, interactions at small distances). Most of proposals are united by an idea of a common magnetic spectrometer with LiH(D) and polarized targets, wich could be built on the base of an existing 3m magnet. Some of them also refer to the intrinsic accelerator beam and to the new ion ring.
The inclusive pion double charge exchange process on nuclei is considered in the framework of the Gribov-Glauber approach. It is shown that inelastic rescatterings related to production of two (and more) pions in the intermediate state give an important contribution to the process of double charge exchange at kinetic energies above ~ 0.5 GeV. This mechanism dominates at energies greater or about 1 GeV and allows to explain the weak energy dependence of the double charge exchange cross section observed experimentally.
