Our new experimental results (see, e.g., Preprint JINR no. E1-2008-61 (Dubna, 2008)) on ratio R{sub dp} of the quasielastic charge-exchange yield at the proton emitting angle {theta}{sub p,lab} = 0 deg. for the nd {yields} p(nn) reaction to the elastic np {yields} pn charge-exchange yield were presented. The measurements were carried out at the Nuclotron of the Veksler and Baldin Laboratory of High Energies of the JINR (Dubna) at the neutron-beam kinetic energies of 0.55, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.8, and 2.0 GeV. In this paper the comparison of the experimental R{sub dp} data with the obtained R{sub dp} calculations within the impulse approximation by using the invariant-amplitude sets from the GW/VPI phase-shift analysis is made. The R{sub dp} values calculated using the set of invariant amplitude data for the elastic np {yields} pn charge exchange at {theta}{sub p,CM} = 0 deg., agree with the experimental data. This confirmed the nd {yields} p(nn) process yield at {theta}{sub p,CM} = 0 deg. is caused by the contribution of the spin-dependent part of the elastic np {yields} pn charge-exchange reaction. Thus, it has been shown that the obtained experimental R{sub dp} results can be used for the Delta-Sigma experimental program to reduce the total ambiguity in the extraction of the amplitude real parts.
