Sensitivity of the triton binding energy to the D-state probability in the deuteron

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
We report on the sensitivity of the triton binding energy to the D-state probability, P/sub D/, in the deuteron. Based on a recently proposed energy-dependent separable potential, the /sup 3/S/sub 1/-/sup 3/D/sub 1/ interaction is constructed in such a way that while varying P/sub D/, the off-shell and on-shell behavior of the nucleon-nucleon forces employed (phase shifts are taken directly from experiment) are independent of the choice of P/sub D/. The increase of P/sub D/ within the experimental bounds from 4% to 7% decreases the triton binding energy by roughly-equal0.55--0.60 MeV. These values are in very good agreement with the results obtained for the Reid potential by Harms et al., which differ strongly from the results by Brady et al.
