Deuteron-proton charge exchange reaction at small transfer momentum
Abstract
Description
The charge-exchange reaction pd -> npp at 1 GeV projectile proton energy is studied. This reaction is considered in a special kinematics, when the transfer momentum from the beam proton to fast outgoing neutron is close to zero. Our approach is based on the Alt-Grassberger-Sandhas formulation of the multiple-scattering theory for the three-nucleon system. The matrix inversion method has been applied to take account of the final state interaction (FSI) contributions. The differential cross section, tensor analyzing power $C_{0,yy}$, vector-vector $C_{y,y}$ and vector-tensor $C_{y,xz}$ spin correlation parameters of the initial particles are presented. It is shown, that the FSI effects play a very important role under such kinematical conditions. The high sensitivity of the considered observables to the elementary nucleon-nucleon amplitudes has been obtained.
