To the present approximation, 2 the difference between protons and hydrogen atoms is that the orbital electron produces an (attractive) screening field; electronic transitions are of course not considered here. The effect of the screening field is to make the total interaction with a hydrogen molecule weakly attractive for separations greater than 1.3ao, with a maximum depth of -0.02e 2 /oo at r=1.8oo; at smaller distances (r^Sao) the effect of the screening field is negligible, and the field is again repulsive.In the case considered previously 2 the attractive potential is of no importance at the lower energies (~5 ev), although it does give a contribution at large energies. In the present case the closest distance of approach for protons is greater than 1.3oo, so that the screening field affects the one-dimensional matrix element very strongly. If the correction method is applied in the usual way, one finds a correction factor f~(+)10-3 to 10~2 for the (0->l) transition, i.e., for energies ^,1 ev, and f~(-)10~2 for thermal energies (dissociation and elastic scattering). The change of sign of f arises from the change of sign of the potential PHYSICAL REVIEWThe alpha-particle groups produced by the bombardment of aluminum by 10.8-Mev deuterons have been measured using nuclear emulsion plates for detection. Seven new levels in Mg 2S were found at 6. 98, 7.85, 8.62, 9.06, 975, 10.78, and 11.89 Mev. The previously known level at 4.01 Mev has been resolved into two levels at 3.96 and 4.12 Mev.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
