Triton calculations with the new Nijmegen potentials

1993

Triton properties are calculated using new nucleon-nucleon potentials, which were fit to the world nucleon-nucleon data. All potentials are charge dependent and explicitly incorporate the mass difference between the charged and neutral pions. Three of these models have a nearly optimal chi**2 per degree of freedom and can therefore be considered as alternative partial wave analyses, which in quality can almost compete with the Nijmegen partial-wave analysis. The triton binding energy obtained with three local models (Nijm II, Reid93, AV18) can be summarized as 7.62 +_ 0.01 MeV, which is nearly 900 keV lower than experiment. The non-local model Nijm I binds by 7.72 MeV.

Nuclear transition rates in μ-catalyzedp-dfusion

1991

Nuclear transition rates in \ensuremath{\mu}-catalyzed p-d fusion have been calculated using numerically converged $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ bound-state and p-d scattering wave functions for the first time. The transition rates for M1 radiative capture in both quartet and doublet initial states have been computed using a model of meson-exchange currents which reproduces the thermal n-d capture cross section, and are in excellent agreement with experiment. The muon internal-conversion rate is in very good agreement with a recent reanalysis of old bubble-chamber measurements. Furthermore, our nonvanishing quartet capture rate resolves the anomaly in the Wolfenstein-Gerstein effect.
