Polarization observables in the reaction $NN \to NN Φ$

2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/198994We study the reaction $NN \to NN Φ$ slightly above the threshold within an extended one-boson exchange model which also accounts for $uud$ knock-out. It is shown that polarization observables, like the beam-target asymmetry, are sensible quantities for identifying a $s \bar s$ admixture in the nucleon wave function on the few per cent level.11 LaTeX pages including 4 ps figuresNuclear TheoryPolarization observables in the reaction $NN \to NN Φ$text
