Role of tensor forces in the /sup 4/He(d-italic-arrow-right,/sup 3/He)/sup 3/H reaction

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Recent experimental polarization data on the /sup 4/He(d-italic-arrow-right,/sup 3/He)/sup 3/H reaction are analyzed. We performed a microscopic multichannel resonating group calculation and found sensitivity to the tensor force only for the tensor analyzing powers. In addition we fitted the experimental data by S-matrix elements and found good agreement between calculation and fit for the most important tensor-independent matrix elements and only fair agreement for the strongly tensor-dependent ones. Arguments for this finding are given.
