Correlation between the Properties of the Deuteron and the Low-Energy Triplet Parameters of neutron-Proton Scattering

摘要

The correlation between the asymptotic normalization constant for the deuteron, A_S, and the neutron-proton scattering length for the triplet case, a_t, is investigated. It is found that 99.7% of the asymptotic constant A_S is determined by the scattering length a_t. It is shown that the linear correlation between the quantities A_S~(-2) and 1/a_t provides a good test of correctness of various models of nucleon- nucleon interaction. it is revealed that, for the normalization constant A_S and for the root-mean-square deuteron radius r_d, the results obtained with the experimental value recommended at present for the triplet scattering length a_t are exaggerated with respect to their experimental counterparts. By using the latest experimental data obtained for phase shifts by the group headed by Arndt, it proved to be possible to derive, for the low-energy parameters of scattering (a_t, r_t, P_t) and for the properties of the deuteron (A_S, r_d), results that comply well with experimental data.
