چکیده
The understanding of few-nucleon systems at low energies is essential, e.g. for accurate predictions of element abundances in big-bang and stellar fusion. Novel effective field theories, taking only nucleons, or nucleons and pions as explicit degrees of freedom, provide a systematic approach, permitting an estimate of theoretical uncertainties. Basic constants parameterising the short range physics are derived from only a handful of experimental values. The doublet neutron scattering length a2 of the deuteron is particularly sensitive to a three-nucleon contact interaction, but experimentally known with only 6 % accuracy. It can be deduced from the two experimentally accessible parameters of the nd scattering length. We plan to measure the poorly known " incoherent " nd scattering length a i,d with 10 −3 accuracy, using a Ramsey apparatus for pseudomagnetic precession with a cold polarised neutron beam at PSI. A polarised target containing both deuterons and protons will permit a measurement relative to the incoherent np scattering length, which is know experimentally with an accuracy of 2.4 × 10 −4 .

We present the directed flow measurement (v 1) from Au+Au collisions at √ s NN = 62 GeV. Over the pseudorapidity range we have studied, which covers η from −1.2 to 1.2 and 2.4 < |η| < 4, v 1 is found increasing monotonously with pseudorapidity in all centralities. No " v 1 wiggle " is observed at midrapidity as predicted by various theoretical models. Elliptic flow (v 2) from moderate high p t ...

After the successfully performed DEAR experiment at DAΦNE-resulting in the most precise data on the hadronic shift and width in kaonic hydrogen up-to-now-the next step will be the measurement at the percent level using new X-ray detectors. These detectors (silicon drift detectors) are developed within the SIDDHARTA project. The asynchronous background will be suppressed using the time correlati...
