New Attempt to Determine thennScattering Length with theH2

Abstract: The n-n final-state interaction (FSI) was investigated via the 2H(n, np)n reaction at 25 MeV, using a geometry which enables the simultaneous observation of n-p quasifree (QFS) scattering. The data were analyzed with Monte Carlo simulations based on rigorous Faddeev calculations with realistic nucleon-nucleon potentials. The value of a(nn) deduced from the absolute yield in the FSI peak is -16.27+/-0. 40 fm while the relative data, normalized in the QFS region, give -16.06+/-0.35 fm. Thus our results differ fr… Show more

“…The majority of the breakup experiments were performed in the region of low energies ( < ∼ 25 MeV) for both the nd [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] and the pd [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] breakup. We compare some of the 13 MeV data with our theoretical predictions for the cross section and nucleon analyzing power A y in Figs.…”

“…Unfortunately, nn scattering is only poorly known experimentally. There is only one datum for the scattering length, which is still controversal [24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31]. AV18 is adjusted to a nn = −18.82 fm, whereas for CD-Bonn 2000 a nn results in −18.97 fm.…”

“…Because of the possibility of systematic errors that are either underestimated or unaccounted for that are common to all previous experiments, we have made new measurements using a technique that has different sources of systematic errors than previous experiments. Our experiment uses a technique similar to that developed by Huhn et al [17,18] for measuring the nn scattering length. The primary distinctions between our technique and those used in previous SST measurements are: (1) the outgoing proton was detected in coincidence with one of the neutrons, (2) the deuterated target was a thin CD 2 foil to allow outgoing protons to exit the target and have their momentum measured, and (3) the integrated target-beam luminosity was determined by 2 H(n, d)n elastic scattering.…”
