Signatures of three-nucleon interactions in few-nucleon systems

et al. 2011

Recent experimental results in three-body systems have unambiguously shown that calculations based only on nucleon-nucleon forces fail to accurately describe many experimental observables and one needs to include effects which are beyond the realm of the two-body potentials. This conclusion owes its significance to the fact that experiments and calculations can both be performed with high accuracy. In this review, both theoretical and experimental achievements of the past decade will be underlined. Selected results will be presented. The discussion on the effects of the three-nucleon forces is, however, limited to the hadronic sector. It will be shown that despite the major successes in describing these seemingly simple systems, there are still clear discrepancies between data and the state-of-the-art calculations.

“…Note that the effect of the 3NF on the binding energy for the triton is 0.5-0.8 MeV, whereas the effect increases significantly for the four-nucleon system, 4 He, to ∼4 MeV. For this, it was proposed to study the four-nucleon system at intermediate energies since the experimental database for this is presently poor in comparison with that of three-nucleon systems [40][41][42][43]. Most of the available data have been measured at very low energies, in particular below the three-body breakup threshold of 2.2 MeV.…”

Abstract. We successfully identified several multibody final states in deuteron-deuteron scattering at 65 MeV/nucleon at KVI using a unique and advanced detection system called BINA. This facility enabled us to perform cross sections and polarization measurements with an improved statistical and systematic precision. The analysis procedure and a part of the results of the three-body break-up channel in the deuteron-deuteron scattering at 65 MeV/nucleon are presented.The physics phenomena of nuclei are for a large part understood by considering the interaction between their building blocks, the nucleons. In 1935 Yukawa described the nucleon-nucleon (NN) force by the exchange of massive mesons [1] in analogy to the electromagnetic interaction which can be represented by the exchange of of a massless photon. Several phenomenological nucleonnucleon potentials have been derived based on Yukawa's theory and are able to reproduce the whole bulk of data points in neutron-proton and proton-proton scattering with extremely high precision. These so-called high-quality NN potentials are used in Faddeev equations [2,3] to give an exact solution of the scattering problem of the threenucleon system. Already, for the simplest three-nucleon system, the triton, an exact solution of the three-nucleon Faddeev equations employing two-nucleon forces (2NFs) underestimates the experimental binding energy [4], showing that 2NFs are not sufficient to describe the threenucleon system accurately. The existence of an additional force, the three-nucleon (3N) interaction, was predicted by Primakov [5] and confirmed by a comparison between precision data and state-of-the-art calculations. In general, adding 3NF effects to the NN potentials gives a better agreement between the cross section data of the protondeuteron scattering and corresponding calculations [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], whereas a similar comparison for the spin observables yields various discrepancies [7][8][9][18][19][20][21][22]. This demona e-mail: ramazani@kvi.nl strated that spin-dependent parts of the 3NFs are poorly understood and that more studies in this field are needed.The 3NF effects are in general small in the threenucleon system. A complementary approach is to examine heavier systems for which the 3NF effects are significantly enhanced in magnitude. For this, it was proposed to study the four-nucleon system since the experimental database in the four-nucleon system is presently poor in comparison with that of the three-nucleon system. Most of the available data have been measured at very low energies, in particular below the three-body break-up threshold of 2.2 MeV. Also, theoretical developments are evolving rapidly at low energies [23][24][25][26], but lag behind at higher energies. The experimental database at intermediate energies is very limited [27][28][29]. This situation calls for extensive four-nucleon studies at intermediate energies. The goal of our work was to perform a comprehensive measurement of the cross sections and spin observab...

Spin–isospin selectivity in three-nucleon forces

Precision data are presented for the break-up reaction, 2 H( p, pp)n, within the framework of nuclear-force studies. The experiment was carried out at KVI using a polarized-proton beam of 190 MeV impinging on a liquid-deuterium target and by exploiting the detector, BINA. Some of the vector-analyzing powers are presented and compared with state-of-the-art Faddeev calculations including three-nucleon forces effect. Significant discrepancies between the data and theoretical predictions were observed for kinematical configurations which correspond to the 2 H( p, 2 He)n channel. These results are compared to the 2 H( p, d)p reaction to test the isospin sensitivity of the present three-nucleon force models. The current modeling of two and three-nucleon forces is not sufficient to describe consistently polarization data for both isospin states. Understanding the exact nature of the nuclear force is one of the long-standing questions in nuclear physics. In 1935, Yukawa successfully described the pair-wise nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction as an exchange of a boson [1]. Current NN models are mainly based on Yukawa's idea and provide an excellent description of the high-quality database of proton-proton and neutron-proton scattering [2] and of the properties of the deuteron. However, for the simplest three-nucleon system, triton, three-body calculations employing NN forces clearly underestimate the experimental binding energies [3], demonstrating that NN forces are not sufficient to describe the three-nucleon system accurately. Some of the discrepancies between experimental data and calculations solely based on the NN interaction can be resolved by introducing an additional three-nucleon force (3NF). Most of the current models for the 3NF are based on a refined version of Fujita-Miyazawa's 3NF model [4], in which a 2π-exchange mechanism is incorporated by an intermediate ∆ excitation of one of the nucleons [5,6].The structure of the 3NF can be studied via a measurement of observables in three-nucleon scattering processes. More detailed information on the spin dependence of the 3NF can be obtained by measuring polarization observables such as the analyzing powers. For this, a series of * Electronic address: messchendorp@kvi.nl extensive studies of 3NF effects in elastic-scattering reactions have been performed at KVI and other laboratories. Precision measurements of the vector analyzing power of the proton in elastic proton-deuteron scattering have been performed at various beam energies ranging from 90 to 250 MeV [7,8,9,10,11]. Also, vector and tensor analyzing powers in elastic deuteron-proton scattering have been obtained at various beam energies ranging from 75 to 270 MeV [12,13,14,15,16,17]. In these measurements, systematic discrepancies between data and theoretical predictions which rigorously solve the Faddeev equations and using only NN potentials were observed. A large part of the discrepancies were removed by adding a 3NF to the NN potentials. Nevertheless, there are still unresolved problems specially at higher...
