Title: Cross sections and tensor analyzing powers A_yy of the reaction ^1H(|vec|d,pp)n in SCRE geometries at E_d=19 MeV

Journal Article ·
OSTI ID:876569

We measured the cross sections and tensor analyzing powers of the 1H({approx}d,pp)n breakup reaction at Ed=19 MeV in four symmetric constant relative energy (SCRE) configurations. The data are compared with theoretical predictions from three different approaches: one based on high precision (semi)phenomenological potentials alone or combined with model three-nucleon forces, another on chiral forces up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in the chiral expansion. In both cases, the Coulomb interaction is not included. In addition, a comparison to predictions based on CD Bonn including the Lambda excitation and the Coulomb force is presented. In all cases the measured cross sections are significantly below the theoretical values whereas the magnitude of the tensor analyzing powers agree within the error bars in three of the four cases. The apparent discrepancies in the breakup cross sections are similar to the known differences for the space-star breakup. This adds to the data base of unsolved low-energy discrepancies.
