Incoherent pion photoproduction on the deuteron with polarization observables I: Formal expressions
2005
Formal expressions are developed for the general five-fold differential cross section of incoherent $\pi$-photoproduction on the deuteron including beam and target polarization. The polarization observables of the cross section are described by various beam, target and beam-target asymmetries for polarized photons and/or polarized deuterons. They are given as bilinear hermitean forms in the reaction matrix elements divided by the unpolarized cross section. In addition, the corresponding observables for the semi-exclusive reaction $\vec d(\vec \gamma,\pi)NN$ are also given.
Incoherent pion photoproduction on the deuteron with polarization observables II: Influence of final state rescattering
2005
Incoherent pion photoproduction on the deuteron is studied for photon energies from threshold up to 1 GeV with special emphasis on polarization observables. The elementary $\gamma N\to\pi N$ amplitude is taken from the MAID model. The influence of final state interactions on total and semi-exclusive cross sections $\vec d(\vec\gamma,\pi)NN$ is investigated by including complete rescattering in the final $NN$- and $\pi N$-subsystems. For charged pion-production the influence of $NN$-rescattering is moderate whereas $\pi N$-rescattering is almost negligible. Much stronger influences of $NN$-rescattering are seen in neutral pion production, which is due to the elimination of a significant spur…
Isospin dependence of the three-nucleon force
2004
We classify $A$--nucleon forces according to their isospin dependence and discuss the most general isospin structure of the three--nucleon force. We derive the leading and subleading isospin--breaking corrections to the three--nucleon force using the framework of chiral effective field theory.
Photon absorption on a proton-proton pair inHe3
1995
We calculate the total cross sections for different multiple transitions in photon absorption in a {sup 1}{ital S}{sub 0} {ital pp} pair embedded in a {sup 3}He nucleus. Employing two models, one involving only nucleon degrees of freedom, the other in addition the {Delta}(1232) isobar, we show that the {Delta} gives important effects even in transitions where the photon cannot couple directly to the isobar.
Binding of charmonium with two- and three-body nuclei
2006
The energies of the (eta_c d) and (eta_c 3He) bound states are calculated on the basis of exact three- and four-body AGS equations. For the eta_c N interaction a Yukawa-type potential has been adopted. The calculations are done for a certain range of its strength parameter. The results obtained are quite different from calculations based on the folding model.
ΛNNandΣNNsystems at threshold. II. The effect ofDwaves
2007
Using the two-body interactions obtained from a chiral constituent quark model, we study allN N andN N states with I = 0, 1, 2a ndJ = 1/2, 3/2 at threshold, taking into account all three-body configurations with S and D wave components. We constrain further the limits for theN spin-triplet scattering length a1/2,1 .U sing the hypertriton binding energy, we find a narrow interval for the possible values of theN spin-singlet scattering length a1/2,0. We find that theN N system has a quasibound state in the (I,J ) = (1, 1/2) channel very near threshold with a width of about 2.1 MeV.
Measurement of the ExclusiveH3e(e,e′p)Reaction Below the Quasielastic Peak
2004
New, high-precision measurements of the 3He(e,ep) reaction using the A1 Collaboration spectrometers at the Mainz microtron MAMI are presented. These were performed in antiparallel kinematics at energy transfers below the quasielastic peak, and at a central momentum transfer of 685 MeV/c. Cross sections and distorted momentum distributions were extracted and compared to theoretical predictions and existing data. The longitudinal and transverse behavior of the cross section was also studied. Sizable differences in the cross-section behavior from theoretical predictions based on the plane wave impulse approximation were observed in both the two- and three-body breakup channels. Full Faddeev-ty…
Clarification of the Three-Body Decay ofC12(12.71 MeV)
2003
Using $\ensuremath{\beta}$ decays of a clean source of $^{12}\mathrm{N}$ produced at the IGISOL facility, we have measured the breakup of the $^{12}\mathrm{C}$ (12.71 MeV) state into three $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ particles with a segmented particle detector setup. The high quality of the data permits solving the question of the breakup mechanism of the 12.71 MeV state, a longstanding problem in few-body nuclear physics. Among existing models, a modified sequential model fits the data best, but systematic deviations indicate that a three-body description is needed.
Maximal isospin few-body systems of nucleons and $\Xi$ hyperons
2016
By using local central Yukawa-type interactions that reproduce the low-energy parameters of the latest updates of the Nijmegen ESC08c potentials we show that the $N\Xi$, $NN\Xi$, $N\Xi\Xi$ and $NN\Xi\Xi$ systems with maximal isospin are bound. Since in these states the strong decay $N\Xi\to\Lambda\Lambda$ is forbidden by isospin conservation, these strange few-body systems will be stable under the strong interaction. These results may suggest that other states with different number of $N$'s and $\Xi$'s in the maximal isospin channel could also be bound.
Recent Developments in one and two Pion Production in Elementary Reactions and Few-Body Systems
1995
In this talk we cover several issues concerning pion production. The first one is the pp → ppπ 0 reaction where an alternative explanation based on the off shell extrapolation of the πN amplitude is offered. A recent model for the γN → ππN reaction is presented and a new kind of exchange current is constructed from it which allows one to address problems like double ∆ photoproduction from the deuteron. Finally the (γ, ππ) reaction in nuclei is studied and shown to be highly sensitive to the renormalization of the pions in nuclei.
