Cross Section Minima in Elastic Nd Scattering: Possible Evidence for Three-Nucleon Force Effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neutron-deuteron elastic scattering cross sections are calculated at different energies using modern nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions and the Tucson-Melbourne three-nucleon force adjusted to the triton binding energy. Predictions based on NN forces only underestimate nucleon-deuteron data in the minima at higher energies starting around 60 MeV. Adding the three-nucleon forces fills up those minima and reduces the discrepancies significantly. [S0031-9007(98)06806-9]

A complete set of total cross sections for imaginary parts of nd forward scattering amplitudes and three-nucleon force effects
In the neutron-deuteron scattering, four total cross sections are shown to form a complete set for the determination of the imaginary parts of the forward amplitudes because of the optical theorem. The amplitudes are decomposed into scalar and tensor ones in the spin space. Contributions of threenucleon forces (3NF) to these amplitudes are studied, by the Faddeev calculation, which predicts sig...
متن کاملPrecise measurement of dp elastic scattering at 270 MeV and three-nucleon force effects
The cross section, the deuteron vector A(d)(y) and tensor analyzing powers A(ij), the polarization transfer coefficients K(y('))(ij), and the induced polarization P(y(')) were measured for the dp elastic scattering at 270 MeV. The cross section and A(d)(y) are well reproduced by Faddeev calculations with modern data-equivalent nucleon-nucleon forces plus the Tucson-Melbourne three-nucleon force...
متن کاملAnalyzing power in nucleon-deuteron scattering and three-nucleon forces
Three-nucleon forces have been considered to be one possibility to resolve the well known discrepancy between experimental values and theoretical calculations of the nucleon analyzing power in low energy nucleondeuteron scattering. In this paper, we investigate possible effects of twopion exchange three-nucleon forces on the analyzing power and the differential cross section. We found that the ...
متن کاملEvidence for Three Nucleon Force Effects in p-d Elastic Scattering
A new measurement of the p-d differential cross section at Ep = 1 MeV has been performed. These new data and older data sets at energies below the deuteron breakup are compared to calculations using the two–nucleon Argonne v18 and the three–nucleon Urbana IX potentials. A quantitative estimate of the capability of these interactions to describe the data is given in terms of a χ analysis. The χ ...
متن کاملSemi-analytical Approach for Free Vibration Analysis of Variable Cross-Section Beams Resting on Elastic Foundation and under Axial Force
in this paper, free vibration of an Euler-Bernoulli beam with variable cross-section resting on elastic foundation and under axial tensile force is considered. Beam’s constant height and exponentially varying width yields variable cross-section. The problem is handled for three different boundary conditions: clamped-clamped, simply supported-simply supported and clamp-free beams. First, the equ...
