Total cross section of the reaction π+d→pp at pion energies 26–40 MeV

Abstract Total cross sections for the reaction π + d → pp have been measured for incident pion energies T π =26.5, 28.5, 30.5, 32.5 and 39.5 MeV. The data are in good agreement with previous experiments. There is some indication of a peculiarity in the energy dependence of the total cross section near incident pion energy T π =30 MeV.

Proton, deuteron, and triton emission in 14N+Ag interactions at an energy of 52 MeV per nucleon

The inclusive energy spectra and multiplicities of p, d, and t from the reactions 14N(Ag, X), X=p, d, t at E/A=52 MeV are measured. The experimental data are compared with the results obtained within the Dubna version of the cascade model and are analyzed on the basis of the moving-source model.

Positive-pion absorption on carbon at low pion energies

Abstract The total cross section of positive-pion absorption on carbon with a two-proton final state at pion energies of 26–39 MeV has been measured. At a pion energy of 28.5 MeV some narrow structure exists in the energy dependence of the cross section.

Results of mass testing of mini drift tubes for the D0 forward muon system

The procedures and results of mass testing of mini drift tubes in the course of their production for the D0 forward muon system (Tevatron, Fermilab) are described. High-voltage training, checking the stability and uniformity of signals induced by X rays, measuring the wire tension, and leak testing are included in the testing procedure. Owing to the fast and effective testing of detectors under conditions of mass production, the quality of the mini drift tubes is such that virtually no tubes are finally rejected during assembly of the detector system.
