Določitev sipalnih presekov za jedrske reakcije $^{12}$C(e,e') in $^{40}$Ca(e,e')

Gajić, Erik (author), Mihovilovič, Miha (mentor)

V zaključnem delu raziskujem lastnosti jeder $^{12}$C in $^{40}$Ca preko analize meritev inkluzivnih sipalnih presekov, ki so jih v okviru Kolaboracije A1 leta 2021 izvedli na Jedrskem inštitutu Univerze Johannes Gutenburg v Mainzu. V uvodu navajam fizikalno ozadje in motivacijo za opravljeni eksperiment ter na kratko predstavim fizikalne količine, ki jih merimo. Poglavje Teoretično ozadje se dotika osnovnih teoretičnih modelov in pristopov za opis opazovanih jedrskih reakcij, ki se odvijajo preko elektromagnetne interakcije elektronov z nosilci naboja v jedru. Nato s programsko opremo Cola++ analiziram izmerjene podatke in določim sipalne preseke za elastično ter neelastično sipanje. Dobljene sipalne preseke na koncu primerjam z že obstoječimi meritvami in razpoložljivimi teoretičnimi modeli.

Abstract

In my thesis work I study the properties of nuclei $^{12}$C and $^{40}$Ca through the analysis on experimental data of inclusive cross-section measurements provided by Collaboration A1 in 2021 at the Institute for Nuclear Physics of Johannes Gutenberg University. In the introduction I present physical background and motivation behind the conducted research which is followed by the outlining of the measured physical quantities. The chapter Theoretical background contains explanations and simple derivations for the simplistic phenomenological models of the studied nuclear reactions between electrons and nuclei. Experimental data are analysed with the Cola++ analysis package with the end product being the inclusive cross sections for elastic and inelastic scattering. The final results are then compared with theoretical models and existing measurements.
