Oblique Collisions of Baseballs and Softballs with a Bat
Jeffrey R. Kensrud, Alan M. Nathan, Lloyd V. Smith
Experiments are done by colliding a swinging bat with a stationary baseball or softball. Each collision was recorded with high-speed cameras, from which the post-impact speed, laun…
Compton Scattering from the Deuteron below Pion-Production Threshold
Luke Myers, John Annand, Jason Brudvik +13
Differential cross sections for elastic scattering of photons from the deuteron have recently been measured at the Tagged-Photon Facility at the MAX IV Laboratory in Lund, Sweden.…
Compton scattering from 12C using tagged photons in the energy range 65 - 115 MeV
L. S. Myers, K. Shoniyozov, M. F. Preston +26
Elastic scattering of photons from 12C has been investigated using quasi-monoenergetic tagged photons with energies in the range 65 - 115 MeV at laboratory angles of 60 deg, 120 de…
Monte Carlo Simulation of the Photon-Tagger Focal-Plane Electronics at the MAX IV Laboratory
L. S. Myers, G. Feldman, K. G. Fissum +5
Rate-dependent effects in the electronics used to instrument the tagger focal plane at the MAX IV Laboratory have been investigated using the novel approach of Monte Carlo simulati…
Corked Bats, Juiced Balls, and Humidors: The Physics of Cheating in Baseball
Alan M. Nathan, Lloyd V. Smith, Warren L. Faber +1
Three separate questions of relevance to Major League Baseball are investigated from a physics perspective. First, can a baseball be hit farther with a corked bat? Second, is there…
Paradoxical popups: Why are they hard to catch?
Michael K. McBeath, Alan M. Nathan, A. Terry Bahill +1
Even professional baseball players occasionally find it difficult to gracefully approach seemingly routine pop-ups. This paper describes a set of towering pop-ups with trajectories…
