Polarization transfer in the deuteron break-up reaction at 56 MeV

Abstract

The polarization transfer coefficients K y y′ of the break-up spectra in the reactions 12C, 58Ni, 209Bi( d , p X) were measured at 56 MeV. In the forwardd angles (13.5° and 20.0°), the K y y′ data at the break-up peak are nearly equal to 2 3 (the spectator model prediction) and they decrease at both sides of the peak. The deviation due to the deuteron D-state is estimated, using PWBA and DWBA.
