Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter describes a systematic study in which the energy-dependent structure is observed in the proton–deuteron differential cross-section at θ = 180° from 0.1 MeV to 3.5 GeV with the proton kinetic energy (T P ) in the laboratory system. This method provides sharper peaks and furnishes more information regarding the nature of the resonances than that found by scanning the local extrema in the total cross section. In the study, the differential cross section for the proton–deuteron elastic scattering at 180° in the center of mass system is plotted against the proton laboratory energy. In the study, the experimental support for the Y=B=2 resonance is derived from two different sources. The first involves the examination of the energy-dependence of the partial wave amplitude for the proton–proton scattering with the aid of an Argand diagram constructed on the basis of a shift analysis. The second source for the existence of the resonance (Y=B=2) is based on the observation of an enhancement in the pion–deuteron elastic differential cross section at θ c.m. -180° around 700 MeV/c (pion laboratory momentum). The chapter also explains the peripheral model. The presence of an energy dependent structure in the backward hemisphere shows a clear correlation between the peaks and the existence of the virtual and resonance-states in the three-body system.
