sible reason for this overestimation is the omission of reaction effects in the calculation. Another possible reason is the fact that, because the nucleon separation energy for 3 He is rather small, the low-density region of the 3 He wave function is not given well 8 by the Gaussian form 1 used in the calculation, 9 and one would expect this region to be important in backward-peaked exchange phenomena. In order to test this latter hypothesis in a rather crude fashion, the calculation was performed with the rms matter radius of the 3 He cluster arbitrarily increased to 1.89 F, and the result is shown as a dashed curve in Fig. 2. The improved agreement with experiment suggests that to explain the present data it is important to describe properly the long-range parts of the cluster wave functions. This could be done, for example, by employing a two-Gaussian description for the 3 He wave function such as has been done for the deuteron wave function in a recent study of the a + d system. 10 We wish to thank Professor Y. C. Tang for valuable discussions concerning the resonatinggroup method and its application to the present experiment. We are indebted to R. W. Rutkowski for providing the gas target. We are also very grateful to A. Riikola and the cyclotron operators for their expert running of the accelerator and for the dispatch with which they carried out the The residual polarization of negative muons in the ground state of muonic atoms with nuclear spin 7 = 0 was extensively studied both experimentally and theoretically; the spin-orbit coupling during the muonic cascade causes a strong spin depolarization. 1 Little is known on the residual polarization in muonic atoms with 7^0 where, in addition to the spin-orbit coupling, the hyperfine coupling between the muon and the nucleus will affect the depolarization. Hoping to obtain some indications about the role played by the hyperfine (hf) interaction in the spin depolarization in rau-energy changes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
