Three-nucleon force and the A(y) puzzle in intermediate energy p--> + d and d--> + p elastic scattering
1Kernfysisch Versneller Instituut, Zernikelaan 25, 9747 AA Groningen, The Netherlands.
Abstract:
New vector analyzing-power data on p-->+d elastic scattering at E(p) = 150 and 190 MeV have been measured. These are presented together with existing data and with recent d-->+p vector and tensor analyzing power data at E(d) = 270 MeV. The strong negative extremum of both vector analyzing powers A(p)(y) and A(d)(y) at straight theta(c.m.) approximately 80 degrees -120 degrees is underestimated by Faddeev calculations using modern NN forces. Inclusion of the Tucson-Melbourne 3N force shifts the minima upwards, but with conflicting results for A(p)(y), and leading to a good description for A(d)(y). An A(p)(y) puzzle, previously thought to exist at energies E(N)=30 MeV only, appears to exist also at intermediate energies.

Atomic Nuclei: Nuclear Spin
Atomic nuclei have a net nuclear spin, , which can have an integer or half-integer value. In atomic nuclei, the spins of protons are paired against each other but not with neutrons, and vice versa. Consequently, an even number of protons does not contribute to...
