Polarizations in neutron-deuteron elastic scattering

The polarizations in n-d elastic scattering and the correlations between observables for the JP=1/2+ state are studied using the method of Mitra, the integral equations for the n-d amplitudes with a one term separable potential with no restrictions on the multipolarity, are derived. The agreement between the proposed calculation and the 10 MeV p-d experimental results for the spin-correlations Cxx and C sub(yy) and N-N spin-transfers Kxx', Kyy' and K sub (z)x' by phenomenologically introducing the value of the 2S amplitude (an experimental p-d datum) and using for the others amplitudes a one term separable potential with S,P and tensor components, are shown. The 2S amplitude is critical these second order polarizations observables and, given the discrepancies between p-d and n-d experimental phase-shifts for this wave, the value of 2S with the use of the correlation between Kcot2 δ o and 2a (doublet scattering length) is obtained the n-d 2S results agree with p-d experimental data above 4 MeV. The correlation between Kcotg2 δ o and ET (Triton binding energy) with 2a within the zero range model. The propreties that Kcotg 2 δ o vs. 2a and ET vs. 2a have in a model with finite range V-N potential are not completely reproduced in the zero range model, is studied. (author)
