Polarization observables in. pi. d-italic-arrow-right elastic scattering: Amplitude analysis

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Using the new experimental data on iT/sub 11/, T/sub 20/, tau/sub 21/, and tau/sub 22/, presented in the first two parts of this work, along with existing differential cross section data, a helicity amplitude reconstruction of ..pi..d elastic scattering has been performed at T/sub ..pi../ = 256 and 294 MeV. Model-independent information has been obtained for the amplitudes /vert bar/B/vert bar/, (/vert bar/A/vert bar//sup 2/+/vert bar/C/vert bar//sup 2/)/sup 1/2/, /vert bar/D/vert bar/, and the phase phi/sub D/. Taking two relations from a theoretical model in addition to the five existing observables, the seven real components of the ..pi..d helicity amplitudes have been determined. These amplitudes have then been used to calculate spin-transfer observables and the partial-wave components of the scattering amplitude.
