Relations between polarization observables and complete sets for deuteron photodisintegration

1990

The polarization observables for deuteron photodisintegration are given as Hermitean forms of theT-matrix elementsti. By inversion we are able to express a given productti*tj in terms of polarization observables. This allows (i) to derive linear relations between observables for unpolarized, circularly and linearly polarized photons, (ii) to construct explicitly complete sets of polarization observables, and (iii) to derive quadratic relations between observables.

Virtual photons and electrodisintegration of the deuteron

1982

The validity of the virtual photon concept in the analysis of deuteron electrodisintegration for equivalent photon energies up to 300 MeV is investigated. The deuteron and the final state interaction are described by the consistent nonrelativistic calculation of Fabian and Arenhoevel neglecting the effects of meson exchange currents and isobar configurations. We find that in well defined kinematic domains the use of the virtual photon concept is justified in extracting photodisintegration cross sections.

Spin Asymmetry and Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn Sum Rule for the Deuteron

2004

An explicit evaluation of the spin asymmetry of the deuteron and the associated GDH sum rule is presented which includes photodisintegration, single and double pion and eta production as well. Photodisintegration is treated with a realistic retarded potential and a corresponding meson exchange current. For single pion and eta production the elementary operator from MAID is employed whereas for double pion production an effective Lagrangean approach is used. A large cancellation between the disintegration and the meson production channels yields for the explicit GDH integral a value of 27.31 $\mu$b to be compared to the sum rule value 0.65 $\mu$b.

Survey on polarization observables in deuteron photodisintegration below pion-production threshold

1991

Polarization observables of deuteron photodisintegration with polarized photons and oriented deuterons are systematically investigated below π-production threshold with respect to their sensitivity to subnuclear degrees of freedom and relativistic effects, to the different electric and magnetic multipole contributions, and to various realistic potential models. In particular, a complete survey on all single- and double-polarization observables like beam and target asymmetries of the differential cross section, nucleon polarization and proton-neutron spin correlation is given.

General formulae for polarization observables in two-body break-up of deuteron photodisintegration

1988

The formal expressions of all possible polarization observables ind(γ,N)N with polarized photons and oriented deuterons are derived in terms of thet-matrix elements. Furthermore, using the multipole expansion of thet-matrix, all observables are expanded in terms of Legendre polynomials or associated functions, the coefficients of which are given as bilinear forms of the multipole moments and allow a model independent analysis of experimental data.

Role of the D 13 and S 11 Resonances in Deuteron Photodisintegration

1995

The influence of the N(1520) and N(1535) isobar resonances in deuteron photodisintegration is investigated. The isobar configurations are treated in impulse approximation using one-pion exchange for the transition potentials. Isobar admixtures are included in scattering waves as well as in the deuteron. Their influence on the total and differential cross section and various polarization observables, e.g., nucleon polarization and photon asymmetry is small in the Δ resonance region, but not any longer negligible at higher energies.

Signatures of the d*(2380) Hexaquark in d(γ,pn→)

2020

We report a measurement of the spin polarization of the recoiling neutron in deuterium photodisintegration, utilizing a new large acceptance polarimeter within the Crystal Ball at MAMI. The measured photon energy range of 300-700 MeV provides the first measurement of recoil neutron polarization at photon energies where the quark substructure of the deuteron plays a role, thereby providing important new constraints on photodisintegration mechanisms. A very high neutron polarization in a narrow structure centered around E_{γ}∼570 MeV is observed, which is inconsistent with current theoretical predictions employing nucleon resonance degrees of freedom. A Legendre polynomial decomposition sugge…

Polarization Effects in Photo- and Electrodisintegration of the Deuteron

1986

Polarization observables in deuteron photodisintegration like photon and target asymmetries and one- and two nucleon polarization of the final state are studied with respect to their sensitivity to subnuclear degrees of freedom. Furthermore it is shown that the electric form factor of the neutron has a sizeable influence on the polarization asymmetry in d(\(\overset{\lower0.5em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle\rightharpoonup}$}}{e}\),e’n)p with polarized electrons. Uncertainties arising from potential model dependence are discussed.

Mass of astrophysically relevantCl31and the breakdown of the isobaric multiplet mass equation

2016

The mass of $^{31}\mathrm{Cl}$ has been measured with the JYFLTRAP double-Penning-trap mass spectrometer at the Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line (IGISOL) facility. The determined mass-excess value, $\ensuremath{-}7034.7(34)$ keV, is 15 times more precise than in the Atomic Mass Evaluation 2012. The quadratic form of the isobaric multiplet mass equation for the $T=3/2$ quartet at $A=31$ fails $({\ensuremath{\chi}}_{n}^{2}=11.6)$ and a nonzero cubic term, $d=\ensuremath{-}3.5(11)$ keV, is obtained when the new mass value is adopted. $^{31}\mathrm{Cl}$ has been found to be less proton-bound, with a proton separation energy of ${S}_{p}=264.6(34)$ keV. Energies for the excited states in $^{31…
