Abstract

At high energies cross section resonances due to states of compound nuclei in nuclear reactions overlap, and the partial reaction cross sections fluctuate as a function of energy. Ericson's formuias for the probability distribution of a partial cross section sigma are obtained. Additionally, relations for the average number of maxima in the cross section per unit energy and for the probability distribution of d sigma /dE are derived. (D.C.W.)
