Measurement of the transverse spin-transfer coefficient D/sub N/N(0/sup 0/) for (p/sub pol/,n/sub pol/) reactions at 160 MeV

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The first measurements of the transverse spin-transfer coefficient D/sub N/N(0/sup 0/) for intermediate-energy (p,n) reactions to well-resolved nuclear states are reported. Results are presented for (p/sub pol/,n/sub pol/) reactions on /sup 6,7/Li, /sup 12,13,14/C, and /sup 90/Zr at E/sub p/ = 160 MeV. The average value of D/sub N/N(0/sup 0/) for pure Gamow-Teller transitions at this energy is shown to be close to the expected value of approx. =-(1/3). The utility of spin-transfer measurements for investigation of aspects of the nuclear spin-dependent response not otherwise observable is pointed out.
