Elastic and Nuclear Raman Scattering of Photons

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

Some recent experimental studies of fundamental photon scattering processes and inelastic scattering performed at the Negev IRR-2 reactor in the E < 12 MeV region are described. These measurements involved nuclear Thomson (NT), nuclear resonance (NR), Rayleigh (R), Delbruck (D) scattering and the interference effects between these processes. Strong evidence for the contribution of the real D amplitudes and the effects of Coulomb corrections are presented. The status of the inelastic nuclear rotational Raman scattering from various deformed and spherical heavy nuclei is reviewed. Further, the results of experiments searching for inelastic vibrational Raman scattering in 166Er and 238U in the }15 MeV region, performed at the University of Illinois are discussed.
