The Polarization of Deuteron

Nucleon polarization in deuteron electrodisintegration.

Outgoing nucleon polarization in exclusive deuteron electrodisintegration is studied at the quasi-elastic peak in the standard theory with emphasis on the effect of nucleonic and pionic relativistic corrections. The cases of polarized beam or/and polarized target are considered. Sizeable relativistic effects are pointed out in several polarization components. The sensitivity of nucleon polariza...

Polarization measurements in high-energy deuteron photodisintegration.

We present measurements of the recoil proton polarization for the d(gamma-->,p-->)n reaction at straight theta(c.m.) = 90 degrees for photon energies up to 2.4 GeV. These are the first data in this reaction for polarization transfer with circularly polarized photons. The induced polarization p(y) vanishes above 1 GeV, contrary to meson-baryon model expectations, in which resonances lead to larg...

Polarization Observables and High Momenta in the Deuteron Wave Function

Incoherent single pion electroproduction on the deuteron with polarization effects

Incoherent pion electroproduction on the deuteron is studied from threshold up to the second resonance region with special emphasis on the influence of final state interaction, in particular on polarization observables. The elementary γN → πN amplitude is taken from the MAID-2003 model. Final state interaction is included by considering complete rescattering in the final NN and πN subsystems. T...

Hyperon polarization in Kaon Photoproduction from the deuteron

Since hyperon-nucleon scattering experiments are difficult to perform, hyperon production processes such as γ + d → K + Y + N and e + d → e +K + Y + N appear as natural candidates that allow exploring the Y N interaction. One can obtain the information of the Y N interaction by analyzing the correlated Y N final states. An inclusive d(e, eK)Y N experiment has already been performed in Hall C at...
