Description

The vector analyzing power Ay for the reaction 1H( vector n, γ)2H has been measured at five angles between 60 and 140 in the lab at an incident neutron energy of 67.7 MeV. The measurement is of a precision never before achieved (ΔAy≤qslant0.01, statistical) for this observable. This precision makes possible a quantitative comparison with meson-exchange theories, thus enhancing our understanding of the role of non-nucleonic degrees of freedom. ((orig.))
