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.
