Neutrino-induced deuteron disintegration experiment

A pr 1 99 9 UCI Preprint # 98 – 37 A Neutrino - induced deuteron disintegration experiment

Cross sections for the disintegration of the deuteron via neutral-current (NCD) and charged-current (CCD) interactions with reactor antineutrinos (ν̄ed → ν̄epn and ν̄ed → e nn) are measured to be 6.08± 0.77× 10 cm and 9.83± 2.04× 10 cm per neutrino, respectively, in excellent agreement with current calculations. Since the experimental NCD value depends upon the CCD value, if we use the theoretical...

Neutrino-deuteron reactions at solar neutrino energies

In interpreting the SNO experiments, very accurate estimates of the νd reaction cross sections are of great importance. We improve the previous estimates of our group by updating some of its inputs and by taking into account the results of a recent effective-field-theoretical calculation. The new cross sections are slightly (∼1 %) larger than the previously reported values. We present arguments...

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Correlations in Deuteron Photo- disintegration

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations have so far been measured only between pairs of photons and between pairs of protons. It is proposed to measure these correlations between the proton and the neutron emerging from the breakup of the deuteron induced by gamma rays near threshold. The feasibility of the experiment is discussed. Polarimeters with substantially higher overall efficiency than the...

Exploring Very High Missing Momenta in Deuteron Electro-Disintegration

We propose to measure the D(e,e′p)n cross section at Q2 = 3.5 (GeV/c)2 and xbj = 1.30 for missing momenta ranging from pm = 0.5 GeV/c to pm = 1.0 GeV/c expanding the range of missing momenta explored in the Hall A experiment (E01-020) for the same electron kinematics. At these energy and momentum transfers calculations based on the eikonal approximation have been shown to be valid and recent ex...
