Cross section and transverse polarization transfer for the /sup 2/H(p,n)2p reaction at 160 MeV

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The cross section and transverse polarization transfer for the /sup 2/H(p,n)2p reaction at E/sub p/ = 160 MeV and theta = 0/sup 0/ have been measured with good energy resolution (1 MeV). An asymmetric peak shape characteristic of the /sup 1/S/sub 0/ final-state interaction of the residual two-proton system has been clearly observed. The measured transverse polarization transfer coefficient for this peak is D/sub N//sub N/(0X(de) = -0.43 +- 0.04. A simple impulse approximation calculation including the /sup 1/S/sub 0/ final-state interaction reproduces the main features of the observed peak shape and polarization transfer. Small discrepancies observed in the peak tail region can be accounted for by including the /sup 3/P/sub 0,1,2/ final state interaction.
