[en] The discussion of the systematics of quasi-elastic processes induced by heavy ions includes transfer angular distribution data and theory, some successes and failures of the DWBA and coupled channels theories in describing heavy ion reaction data, and a quasi-elastic process induced by a heavier projectile, ²³²Th(⁴⁰Ar,K), and implications for deep inelastic reactions with even heavier projectiles such as Kr and Xe. An attempt is made to delineate areas that are well described theoretically from the specific features that seem not to be understood

[en] The proximity potential is discussed for the inelastic scattering of a spherical nucleus on a deformed nucleus or the mutual interaction of two deformed nuclei. It is shown that the proximity potential is, in general, geometrically more correct than the usual centerline prescription used in inelastic scattering analyses. For the cases where the proximity potential is inadequate a folding model approach is advocated. Techniques to facilitate the coupled channels analysis are presented. 11 refs., 6 figs

[en] Some recent theoretical results on coherent electromagnetic processes in ultrarelativistic heavy ion reactions are surveyed

[en] An exact solution of the two center time-dependent Dirac equation for pair production induced by ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions is presented. Cross sections to specific final states approach those of perturbation theory. Multiplicity rates are reduced from perturbation theory

[en] Transformation and regeneration phenomena are calculated to result from transmission through the Earth of neutrinos with E(MeV)/Δm²(eV)² in the vicinity of 10⁶ to 10⁷. As a result, large time-of-night and seasonal variations are predicted for various solar neutrino experiments in this parameter range. Analagous effects are predicted for terrestrial cosmic ray and accelerator experiments

[en] Coherent vector meson production in peripheral nucleus-nucleus collisions is discussed. These interactions may occur for impact parameters much larger than the sum of the nuclear radii. Since the vector meson production is always localized to one of the nuclei, the system acts as a two-source interferometer in the transverse plane. By tagging the outgoing nuclei for Coulomb dissociation it is possible to obtain a measure of the impact parameter and thus the source separation in the interferometer. This is of particular interest since the life-time of the vector mesons are generally much shorter than the impact parameters of the collisions

[en] Transformation and regeneration phenomena are calculated to result from transmission through the Earth of neutrinos with E(MeV)/Δm² (eV)² in the vicinity of 10⁶ to 10⁷. As a result, large time-of-night and seasonal variations are predicted for various solar neutrino experiments in this parameter range. Analogous effects are predicted for terrestrial cosmic ray and accelerator experiments

[en] A new design has been developed for shaping pole tips to produce the radially increasing fields required for isochronous cyclotrons. The conventional solid hill poles are replaced by poles mounted over a small secondary gap which tapers radially from maximum at the magnet edge to zero near the center. Field measurements with a model magnet and calculations with the code TRIM show an increase in field at the edge of the magnet without the usual corresponding large increase in fringing, and a radial field shape more nearly field independent than for conventional hills. The flying hills have several advantages for variable energy multiparticle cyclotrons: (1) a large reduction in the power dissipated by isochronizing trim coils; (2) a more constant shape and magnitude flutter factor, eliminating flutter coils and increasing the operating range; and (3) a sharper fall-off of the fringe field, simplifying beam extraction
