Low-frequency photon scattering by nuclei (2005)

Ericson, Torleif Eric Oskar, Hüfner, J

The low-frequency limit of elastic photon scattering by nuclei of spin zero is studied. The energy independent cross section (Thomson scattering) and the term quadratic in the frequency (Rayleigh...

The absorptive line shape of hadronic atoms (2005)

Ericson, Torleif Eric Oskar, Hambro, L

The exact line shape for all energies is derived analytically in the limit of negligible nuclear dimensions. The shape deviates from the Breit-Wigner form. The high-energy tail of the line has a...

Theory of polarization shifts in exotic atoms (2005)

Ericson, Torleif Eric Oskar, Hüfner, J

The level shifts caused by the electromagnetic polarizability of the nucleus (N) and the orbiting particle (H) are investigated in detail. The static E1 polarizability strongly dominates in levels...

Can polarizabilities of nuclei and elementary particles be determined from exotic atoms? (2005)

Ericson, Torleif Eric Oskar

The nuclear and hadronic responses to the electromagnetic fields in exotic atoms causes an energy shift proportional to a sum of nuclear and hadron polarizabilities. The shifts are shown to be within...

Neutron polarizability and the n-e scattering length (2005)

Bernabeu, J, Ericson, Torleif Eric Oskar

It is shown that the neutron polarizability contribution to the n-e scattering length is within the present level of precision. The experimental result on this interaction is consistent with a value...

Exotic atoms (2005)

Ericson, Torleif Eric Oskar

Any negatively charged particle in the Coulomb field of a nucleus forms a Bohr atom. The atom size is inversely proportional to the mass of the particle while the energy is proportional to its mass....

Intrinsic magnetic polarizability contribution to the susceptibility of dense neutron matter (2005)

Bernabeu, J, Ericson, Torleif Eric Oskar, Ferro-Fontan, C

It is shown that, apart from the neutron interaction contribution to the susceptibility of neutron stars, there is an additional contribution coming from the magnetic polarizability beta /sub n/ of...

An anomaly in the reaction n+p to D+2 gamma (2005)

Blomqvist, J, Ericson, Torleif Eric Oskar

Analyzes the recently observed doubly radiative n-p capture. It is shown that the experimental result is impossible to explain within the present theoretical framework. (11 refs).

Loiseau, B, Ericson, Torleif Eric Oskar

The Coulomb-like backward peak of the neutron-proton scattering differentialcross section is due to one-pion exchange. Extrapolation to the pion pole ofprecise data should allow to obtain the value...
