Abstract
An experiment, with unpolarized deuteron beam of 160 MeV impinging on liquid deuterium target, was carried out using BINA detector at KVI, in Groningen, the Netherlands. Data were collected for the purpose of obtaining high precision differential cross-section for the deuteron break-up reaction. The elastic scattering data were also col- lected alongside for the purpose of cross-section normalization. We present here a sample of the un-normalised cross-section for the three-body final state (dd→dpn) reaction.
Highlights
Understanding the exact nature of the nuclear force is one of the long-standing questions in nuclear physics
Yukawa in 1935 proposed meson-exchange theory of two interacting nucleons and nowadays there exists a number of very advanced theoretical models originating from this idea, such as Nijm-I and -II, Argonne V18 or CDBonn
The four-nucleon (4N) systems can be considered as the step, both interesting and difficult due to complexity of the final states, variety of spin and isospin combinations etc
Summary
Understanding the exact nature of the nuclear force is one of the long-standing questions in nuclear physics. Theoretical treatment of the 3N systems dynamics have progressed in parallel, resulting with well description of the most of 3N data. Certain progress has been made in the calculations for dd systems [6], but so far at the energies below the breakup-reaction threshold.
