ANKE-COSY Program: An Overview

Goal:

Study of 3-body final states aiming to extract basic spin-dependent two-body scattering information

Tools:

NN scattering ↔ np amplitudes, nuclear forces

Meson production ↔ NN amplitudes (ChPT), FSI

Strangeness production ↔ YN interaction, OZI rule

Topics:

Status:

Towards the double polarization measurements ( dp - Nov’2009)

• Hadronic probes (p,d)• Double polarization (beam/target)

→→

(1) NN – Interaction

• All labs with appropriate facilities have a duty to help to extend the NN database

• Needed to understand the NN forces and to interpret the coupling to inelastic channels

• Characterization requires precise data for Phase Shift Analyses

• Thanks in large part to EDDA, there is a wealth of data for pp system

• Ramping mode (Ep < 2.5 GeV)

• Wide energy & angular range

• High precision, consistency

NN-Interaction (II): The EDDA Legacy

Current experimental status

■ R. Arndt: 1. “Gross misconception within the

community that np amplitudes are known to a couple of GeV”

2. “np data above 800 MeV is a DESERT for experimentalists”

np system poorly known →ANKE is providing high-quality data in forward/backward region

COSY - unique opportunities for hadron physics with polarized hadronic probes (beam & target)

Deuteron breakup reaction successfully used as a method to study np charge-exchange amplitudes - proof of principal is achieved !

The method suggests that measurements at higher energies will provide useful information in regions where the existing np database is far less reliable

ANKE equipment has been commissioned and it ready for extraction of spin correlation parameters

Use of inverse kinematics with a polarized proton incident on a polarized deuteron will extend study up to max. COSY energy 2.9 GeV

The END

Thank you very much for your – attention –

Many thanks to the

Unpolarized np pn differential cross section:

As first approximation, consider data with Epp < 3 MeV; 1S0 dominance.

There are two form factors from the integral over the Fermi momenta:

S+ and S- are longitudinal (=0) and transverse ( = 1) form factors.

In terms of the wave functions of the deuteron S- and D-states, u and w,

and the 1S0 pp wave function k,
