Description

The exclusive charge exchange reaction pD→n(pp) at intermediate and high energies is studied within the Bethe-Salpeter formalism. The final-state interaction in the detected pp pair at nearly zero excitation energy is described by the 1S0 component of the Bethe-Salpeter amplitude. Results of numerical calculations of polarization observables and differential cross-section persuade that, as in the non-relativistic case, this reaction i) can be utilized as a ''relativistic deuteron polarimeter'' and ii) delivers further information about the elementary nucleon-nucleon charge exchange amplitude.
