2 Study of the η - nucleus interaction in the p d → 3 He η reaction near threshold
نویسنده
چکیده
A detailed study of the effect of the η-nucleus final state interaction (FSI) in the p d → He η reaction close to threshold is presented. The FSI is incorporated through a T-matrix for η He elastic scattering, constructed using few body equations. This T-matrix accounts for off-shell and binding effects in η-nucleus scattering. The energy dependence of the data on the p d → He η reaction near threshold is reproduced only after including the FSI. The off-shell and binding effects in η He scattering are found to be important. Given the uncertainty in the knowledge of the elementary η-nucleon interaction, the sensitivity of the p d → He η cross section to different prescriptions of the elementary t-matrix, tη N → η N is also discussed.

متن کاملNear-threshold Production of Η-mesons
It is shown that the striking energy variation in the p d → 3He η cross section near threshold is probably due to a final state interaction associated with a large (complex) η − 3He scattering length. The consequences of this hypothesis are studied for the production of the meson in the η − 4He and η − 7Be channels. PACS number(s): 25.40.Ve, 13.75.-n, 25.10.+s The cross sections for the product...
متن کاملNear - threshold η production in the p d → p d η reaction
The total cross section of the p d → p d η reaction has been measured at two energies near threshold by detecting the final proton and deuteron in a magneti spectrometer. The values are somewhat larger than expected on the basis of two simple theoretical estimates. PACS: 13.60.Le, 25.10.+s, 25.40.Ve
متن کاملProduction of η Mesons Near Threshold
It is argued that the strong energy dependence of the p d → 3Heη cross section near threshold is due to a final state interaction between the η meson and the 3He nucleus. The large scattering length that this implies is in accord with optical potential predictions and is evidence for a nearby virtual ‘‘bound’’ state in the η3He system. This model suggests that sharp structures should also be se...
متن کاملη–Helium Quasi-Bound States
The cross section and tensor analysing power t20 of the ~ d d → He η reaction have been measured at six c.m. momenta, 10 ≤ pη ≤ 90 MeV/c. The threshold value of t20 is consistent with 1/ √ 2, which follows from parity conservation and Bose symmetry. The much slower momentum variation observed for the reaction amplitude, as compared to that for the analogous p d → He η case, suggests strongly th...
