Nuclear Force Imprints Revealed on the Elastic Scattering of Protons with ^{10}C.

چکیده
How does nature hold together protons and neutrons to form the wide variety of complex nuclei in the Universe? Describing many-nucleon systems from the fundamental theory of quantum chromodynamics has been the greatest challenge in answering this question. The chiral effective field theory description of the nuclear force now makes this possible but requires certain parameters that are not uniquely determined. Defining the nuclear force needs identification of observables sensitive to the different parametrizations. From a measurement of proton elastic scattering on ^{10}C at TRIUMF and ab initio nuclear reaction calculations, we show that the shape and magnitude of the measured differential cross section is strongly sensitive to the nuclear force prescription.

Total and differential cross sections and polarization effects in proton-proton elastic scattering at RHIC
The physics program, the setup, and the performance of an experiment to measure elastic scattering of polarized protons at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are described. In the medium t range, diffractive region, with four momenta transferred 0.006 < t < 1.5 (GeV=c), the experiment will address one of the main, unsolved problems in particle and nuclear physics: long-range QCD and con...
متن کاملMultiple scattering theory of proton elastic scattering at intermediate energies.
We derive and calculate the multiple scattering expansion of the Kerman-McManus-Thaler optical potential to second order in the free nucleon-nucleon transition amplitude and clarify the physical content of the interaction. Calculations are presented for the elastic scattering of protons from ' 0 at 135, 200, and 300 MeV incident energies, paying particular attention to the nonlocalities inheren...
متن کاملSpin dependence of the scattering of protons from halo nuclei.
The optical potential and observables for protonHe elastic scattering are studied within the single scattering approximation to the Kerman, McManus, and Thaler (KMT) multiple scattering expansion. Calculations are performed for protonHe elastic scattering at 72 MeV/nucleon, for which there are available experimental data, and also at 200 MeV/nucleon incident energy. It is shown that the calcula...
متن کاملFull folding calculations for proton-nucleus elastic scattering at intermediate energies.
The full folding optical potential for the elastic scattering of protons from ' 0 and Ca at 200 MeV is calculated. The fully off-shell free nucleon-nucleon t matrix, at a fixed energy, derived from the Paris potential and harmonic oscillator nuclear single-particle wave functions are used for both systems. The calculated observables show that the optimal factorization approximation provides a g...
متن کاملEvidence for a three-nucleon-force effect in proton-deuteron elastic scattering.
Developments in spin-polarized internal targets for storage rings have permitted measurements of 197 MeV polarized protons scattering from vector polarized deuterons. This work presents measurements of the polarization observables A(y), iT11, and C(y,y) in proton-deuteron elastic scattering. When compared to calculations with and without three-nucleon forces, the measurements provide further ev...
