Summary
In connection with recent experiments on the scattering of μ-mesons by nuclei the effect of the anomalous magnetic moment of the incident muon and of the distribution of currents in the nucleus have been evaluated. The results are for non-polarized beams incident on non-polarized nuclei. At relatively large angles the cross-sections depend sensitively on the way in which the charges and currents are distributed in the nucleus.
Riassunto
In relazione alle recenti esperienze di diffusione di mesoni μ contro nuclei, vengono valutati gli effetti dovuti al momento magnetico anomalo del mesone incidente ed alla distribuzione di correnti nel nucleo. I risultati si riferiscono a fasci non polarizzati incidenti su nuclei non polarizzati. Ad angoli relativamente grandi le sezioni di urto dipendono sensibilmente dal modo come sono distribuite le cariche e le correnti dentro il nucleo.
