Abstract
An analysis is presented of the charge exchange reaction T( p, n). The model used is basically that proposed by Selove, a direct interaction model. A cluster model (deuteron plus neutron) representation of the three-body ground state is assumed. Further, the relevant interactions, knock-on and core pickup, between proton and target are characterized through the Yamaguchi separable t-matrix, a nonlocal operator. The impulse approximation ( t in the medium equals t for free scattering) is introduced. Certain other approximations having to do with the nuclear form factors and the smallness of momenta components of the bound neutron are also employed. Calculations are presented in which a comparison is made with the differential cross sections at 1.75, 3.0, and 5.5 Mev. The observed dependence of back to forward scattering upon energy is well represented by the theory.
