Title: Spin-spin dependence of total cross sections as an effect of static nuclear deformation

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

Recently observed nuclear spin-spin dependence of total cross sections for n/sub pol/+ /sup 27/Al/sub pol/ is accounted for by coupled-channels calculations that include the effects of the static quadrupole moment of /sup 27/Al, and without any spin-spin potentials. Effective spin-spin interactions, of both spherical and tensor kinds, can thus be generated by static nuclear deformation.
