Abstract

The n-n final-state interaction (FSI) was investigated via the 2H(n, np)n reaction at 25 MeV, using a geometry which enables the simultaneous observation of n-p quasifree (QFS) scattering. The data were analyzed with Monte Carlo simulations based on rigorous Faddeev calculations with realistic nucleon-nucleon potentials. The value of a(nn) deduced from the absolute yield in the FSI peak is -16.27+/-0. 40 fm while the relative data, normalized in the QFS region, give -16.06+/-0.35 fm. Thus our results differ from the "recommended" value of a(nn) = -18.5+/-0.3 fm by more than 5 standard deviations.
