Polarization in neutron proton scattering at 95 MeV

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

The free neutron-proton polarization has been measured at centre-of-mass angles from 20° to 160°. The asymmetries were obtained using fixed detectors and by rotating the plane of polarization of the neutron beam with respect to the scattering plane by means of a long solenoid. The polarization cross-section was found to be strongly non-antisymmetrical about 90° centre-of-mass and evidence forD-wave interaction was obtained.

Riassunto

La polarizzazione libera neutrone-protone è stata misurata ad angoli nel sistemadel centro di massa da 20° a 160°. Le asimmetrie furono ottenute usando rivelatori fissi e ruotando il piano di polarizzazione del fascio neutronico rispetto al piano di scattering per mezzo di un lungo solenoide. La sezione d’urto di polarizzazione fu trovata fortemente non antisimmetrica intorno a circa 90° nel sistema del centro di massa e furono ottenute prove di un’interazione di ondeD.
