Angular distributions for α particle elastic scattering by Ca 4 0, 4 4 and excitation of the 3.73 MeV 3− collective state of Ca 40 were measured for incident energies ranging from 40 to 62 …
After completion of the data taking for the ν μ →ν τ oscillation search, the CHORUS lead–scintillator calorimeter was used in the 1998 run as an active target. High-statistics samples of …
The global network of protected areas has rapidly expanded in the past decade and is expected to cover at least 30% of land and sea by 2030 to halt biodiversity erosion. Yet, the …
The cross section for Coulomb dissociation of B 8—the Pb 208 (B 8 Be 7 p) Pb 208 reaction—was measured using a B 8 radioactive beam of 46.5 MeV/nucleon energy, and the cross …
The second J π = 2 + state of C 12 , predicted over 50 years ago as an excitation of the Hoyle state, has been unambiguously identified using the C 12 ( γ , α 0 ) Be 8 reaction. The alpha …
O 16 (α, α) elastic scattering angular distributions have been measured for incident energies 39.3, 49.5, and 69.5 MeV. These data, and previous measurements at 32.2, 104, and 146 …
The cross section for the astrophysically important N 13 (p, γ) 14 O reaction has been measured directly with an intense (3× 10 8 particles/s) and pure (> 99%) 8.2-MeV N 13 radioactive …
The nuclear emulsion target of the CHORUS detector was exposed to the wide-band neutrino beam of the CERN SPS of 27 GeV average neutrino energy from 1994 to 1997. In total, …
Urbanization leads to land-use changes and landscape fragmentation, impacting natural habitats and their connectivity. In principle, many local decision-makers are obliged to adopt a …
The final oscillation analysis of the complete set of data collected by CHORUS in the years 1994–1997 is presented. Reconstruction algorithms of data extracted by electronic detectors …
