Article: Quasi-free elastic deuteron-proton scattering in the three-body break-up reaction of deuteron-deuteron scattering
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper discusses some of the recent results obtained in a deuteron-deuteron scattering experiment using a polarized beam of deuterons with an incident energy of 130 MeV. A 4π detection system allowed to measure cross sections and spin observables for various final-state configurations. Here, we discuss the quasi-free elastic deuteron-proton scattering process in deuteron-deuteron scattering which has been observed by analyzing kinematical configurations for which the target neutron acts as a spectator particle. This part of the data can be compared directly to three-nucleon calculations and with existing data for the elastic deuteron-proton scattering process. The results for the polarization observables iT11 and T22 agree well with elastic scattering data published so-far and measured concurrently using a proton target. Surprisingly, the tensor observable T20 shows significant discrepancies with data taken using a proton target.Journal of Physics Conference Series 05/2011; 295(1):012120. -
Article: Three-body break-up in deuteron-deuteron scattering at 65~MeV/nucleon
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In an experiment with a 65 MeV/nucleon polarized deuteron beam on a liquid-deuterium target at KVI, several multi-body final states in deuteron-deuteron scattering were identified. For these measurements, a unique and advanced detection system, called BINA, was utilized. We demonstrate the feasibility of measuring vector and tensor polarization observables of the deuteron break-up reaction leading to a three-body final-state. The polarization observables were determined with high precision in a nearly background-free experiment. The analysis procedure and some results are presented.

Article: Three-body break-up in deuteron-deuteron scattering at 65 MeV/nucleon
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We successfully identified several multibody final states in deuteron-deuteron scattering at 65 MeV/nucleon at KVI using a unique and advanced detection system called BINA. This facility enabled us to perform cross sections and polarization measurements with an improved statistical and systematic precision. The analysis procedure and a part of the results of the three-body break-up channel in the deuteron-deuteron scattering at 65 MeV/nucleon are presented.EPJ Web of Conferences. 01/2010; -
Article: Elastic proton-deuteron scattering at intermediate energies
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Observables in elastic proton-deuteron scattering are sensitive probes of the nucleon-nucleon interaction and three-nucleon force effects. The present experimental data base for this reaction is large, but contains a large discrepancy between data sets for the differential cross section taken at 135 MeV/nucleon by two experimental research groups. This paper reviews the background of this problem and presents new data taken at KVI. Differential cross sections and analyzing powers for the $^{2}{\rm H}(\vec p,d){p}$ and ${\rm H}(\vec d,d){p}$ reactions at 135 MeV/nucleon and 65 MeV/nucleon, respectively, have been measured. The data differ significantly from previous measurements and consistently follow the energy dependence as expected from an interpolation of published data taken over a large range at intermediate energies.05/2008;
