Nuclear Bremsstrahlung
Abstract
A formalism is developed in which the nuclear potential is explicitly worked into the radiation matrix-elements. The result is an expansion of the ordinary matrix element in a power series. In each term of this series occurs explicitly the potential between the scattered particles. With these expressions the bremsstrahlung of n-He4 scattering is calculated if the nuclear potential is assumed to be a square well. Furthermore the bremsstrahlung of n-p-scattering is studied for two kinds of interaction: (a) square well, (b) square well plus ore. If the parameters of these potentials are chosen so that they give the same scattering length and effective range, there remains only a small difference in the bremsstrahlung cross section for the two types of potentials (some few percent). The shapes of the bremsstrahlung spectrum are equal in both cases. Some structure in the shape occurs at the virgual bound state of the s-wave. It seems that nuclear bremsstrahlung can be measured.
