Spin-dependent np → pn amplitude estimated from dp → ppn
Abstract:An estimation of the spin-dependent part of the np↦pn charge exchange amplitude was made on the basis of dp↦(pp)n data, taken at 1.67 GeV/c per nucleon in a full solid-angle arrangement. The np↦pn amplitude turned out to be entirely spin-dependent. This result shows new possibilities for experiments using polarized deuteron beams and polarized proton targets.
