چکیده

Measurements of polarized neutron—polarized 3 He scattering are reported. The target consisted of cryogenically-polarized solid 3 He, thickness 0.04 atom/b and polarization ∼ 0.4. Polarized neutrons were produced via the 3 H(p, n) 3 He or 2 H(d, n) 3 He polarization-transfer reactions. The longitudinal and transverse total cross-section differences ∆σ L and ∆σ T were measured for incident neutron energies 2–8 MeV. The results are compared to phase-shift predictions based on four different analyses of n-3 He scattering. The best agreement is obtained with a recent R-matrix analysis of A = 4 scattering and reaction data, lending strong support to the 4 He level scheme obtained in that analysis. Discrepancies with other phase-shift parameterizations of n-3 He scattering exist, attributable in most instances to one or two particular partial waves.

The Kohn variational principle and the (correlated) Hyperspherical Harmonics technique are applied to study the n − 3 H and p − 3 He scattering at zero energy. Predictions for the singlet and triplet scattering lengths are obtained for non–relativistic nuclear Hamiltonians including two– and three– body potentials. The calculated n− 3 H total cross section agrees well with the measured value, w...

The methods of investigation of Time Reversal Invariance (TRI) violation using polarized neutron beam and polarized or aligned nuclear target are briefly considered. The new method of dynamic nuclear alignment (DNA) of quadrupolar nuclei is proposed. An implementation of this method can significantly increase the number of aligned nuclei accessible for TRI violation experiments and for the othe...

Complementary measurements have been performed for the level density and γ strength function in 162 Dy using inelastic 3 He scattering. Comparing these results to previous measurements using the 163 Dy(3 He,α) reaction , reveals that the measured quantities above 1.5 MeV do not depend significantly on the nuclear reaction chosen.

A four–nucleon calculation of the total 4He photodisintegration cross section is performed. The full final–state interaction is taken into account for the first time. This is achieved via the method of the Lorentz integral transform. Semi–realistic NN interactions are employed. Different from the known partial two–body 4He(γ, n)3He and 4He(γ, p)3H cross sections our total cross section exhibits...
