Abstract
We measured the differential cross section and the spin correlation parameter C{sub yy} of the p-vector+{sup 3}He-vector elastic backward scattering at 200, 300, and 400 MeV at {theta}=180 deg. in the center-of-mass frame to study the mechanism of the reaction and to examine the validity of the {sup 3}He wave functions based on two different realistic two-body forces. This is the first measurement of the spin correlation parameter C{sub yy} of the p-vector+{sup 3}He-vector EBS at intermediate energies. The experimental results were compared with few-body calculations, including three reaction mechanisms: two-nucleon-pair exchange, pion exchange, and direct pp scattering. It was found that few-body calculations describe the differential cross-section data reasonably well. The spin correlation parameter C{sub yy} shows clear evidence for the two-nucleon-pair exchange processes in the reaction, demonstrating that the spin observables are helpful for deeper understanding of the reaction mechanism.
