Zero-crossing angle in the np analyzing power at medium energies and its relation to charge symmetry

Description

The angle at which the analyzing power for free np scattering becomes zero, the zero-crossing angle theta0, has been measured simultaneously for the np and np scattering processes at 425, 565, and 665 MeV incident neutron energies. A rather strong energy dependence of the zero-crossing angle is found. Knowledge of this energy dependence is important in designing an experiment which tests for charge symmetry breaking forces by comparing high precision measurements of theta0(np) and theta0
