Description

We report measurements of the cross-section and a complete set of polarization transfer coefficients for the 3He(p,n) reaction at a bombarding energy Tp=346 MeV and a reaction angle θlab=0 deg. The data are compared with the corresponding free nucleon-nucleon values on the basis of the predominance of quasielastic scattering processes. Significant discrepancies have been observed in the polarization transfer DLL(0 deg.), which are presumably the result of the three-proton T=3/2 resonance. The spin-parity of the resonance is estimated to be 1/2-, and the distribution is consistent with previous results obtained for the same reaction at Tp=48.8 MeV
