Description

Measurements of T20(θlab=90 degree) for 1H(d searrow,γ)3He, in the energy range Ed(lab)=12.7 endash 19.8 MeV, have been compared with the results of new exact three-body Faddeev calculations using the Paris and Bonn-A nucleon-nucleon (NN) potentials. This comparison indicates a strong sensitivity of the T20 observable to the p-wave part of the NN force. In particular, we find that the 3P1 component of the P-wave interaction is the dominant P-wave term affecting the value of T20(θlab=90 degree) at these energies. This contrasts with the results of polarized N-D scattering studies where the 3P0 component has been found to dominate. cents 1996 The American Physical Society
