A nonzero difference of the analyzing powers due to charge symmetry breaking has been measured with high precision in np elastic scattering at a neutron beam energy of 347 MeV. The neutron beam and proton target were alternately polarized for the measurements of An and Ap. A mirror-symmetric detection system was used to cancel geometry-related systematic errors. From fits of the measured asymmetry angular distributions over the range of 53.4°<~θcm<~86.9°, the difference in the zero-crossing angles of the analyzing powers was determined to be 0.438°±0.054°(stat.)±0.051°(syst.) in the center-of-mass system. Using the experimentally determined slope of the analyzing power dA/dθ=(−1.35±0.05)×10−2 deg−1 (c.m.), this is equivalent to ΔA≡An−Ap=[59±7(stat.)±7(syst.)±2(syst.)]×10−4. The shape of ΔA(θ) in the vicinity of the zero-crossing angle has also been extracted. Predictions of nucleon-nucleon interaction models based on meson exchange agree well with the results.

A new measurement of $\Delta\sigma_T$ for polarized neutrons transmitted through a polarized proton target at 16.2 MeV has been made. A polarized neutron beam was obtained from the $^{3}\rm{H}(d,\vec n)^{4}\rm{He}$ reaction; proton polarization over 90\% was achieved in a frozen spin target of 20 cm$^3$ volume. The measurement yielded the value $\Delta\sigma_T=(-126\pm21\pm14)$ mb. The result of a simple phase shift analysis for the $^3S_1-^3D_1$ mixing parameter $\epsilon_1$ is presented and compared with the theoretical potential model predictions.

The neutron-proton differential cross section at 50.0 MeV has been measured to a precision of ≃ 2% for backward-hemisphere c.m. angles and ≃ 3% for forward angles, both relative. The present data are not in good agreement with the previous n−p measurements near this energy. A preliminary phase-shift analysis using the present data produces more satisfactory results, particularly for the P11 phase shift.

We have measured the analyzing power ANO and the spin transfer KNN for np-elastic scattering from about 60° to 170° c.m. at 485, 635, and 788 MeV. The new data clarify previous discrepancies and complete the first-order determination of nucleon-nucleon elastic scattering at these energies.

The angles at which the n-p elastic scattering neutron analyzing power A00n0 crosses zero were measured with precision at four TRIUMF energies below 300 MeV. The mean interaction energies are also measured with greater precision than in previous experiments. The results are En=175.26±0.23 MeV, θzx=98.48°±0.28°; En=203.15±0.20 MeV, θzx=91.31°±0.18°; En=217.24±0.19 MeV, θzx=87.64°±0.18°; and En=261.00±0.16 MeV, θzx=80.18°±0.19°. After correction for charge symmetry breaking effects, the energy where the averaged neutron-proton analyzing power crosses zero at θzx=90° is found to be En=206.8±0.6 MeV. © 1996 The American Physical Society.

The differential cross section for n-p elastic scattering at 459 MeV in the c.m. angular region 50°<θ*<180° has been measured with high statistical precision and good relative accuracy. The uncertainty in the absolute normalization (based on the simultaneously measured yield of deuterons from the np→dπ0 reaction) was initially estimated to be ∼7%. The results agree well with back-angle data obtained independently at LAMPF but less well with results from Saclay and the Princeton-Pennsylvania Accelerator and, except for a normalization difference of 10%, are fairly well represented by a phase-shift fit. The pole-extrapolation method of Chew was used to extract the pion-nucleon coupling constant f2 from the back-angle portion of the data. The value obtained, f2=0.069, is somewhat smaller than the values 0.0735–0.0790 obtained from analyses of pion-nucleon scattering, tending to confirm the need for an upward renormalization of the angular distribution by ∼10%.

We have measured absolute differential cross sections and analyzing powers for neutron-proton elastic scattering for momentum transfer 0.01 < | t |< 0.08 (GeV/ c ) 2 at several energies between 378 and 1135 MeV. The ionization chamber IKAR filled with methane was used as both a gas target and recoil detector. For the analyzing-power measurements the scattered neutron was detected in scintillation counters in coincidence with the recoil proton detected in IKAR. Special care was taken to ensure a precise absolute normalization of the cross sections, with overall systematic uncertainties of 4–7%.

The spin-spin correlation parameters CLL=(L,L;0,0)=ALL and CSL=(S,L;0,0)=ASL for np elastic scattering were measured for incident polarized-neutron–beam kinetic energies of 484 and 634 MeV over the center-of-mass angles from ≃80° to 180°. The data are important for determining the I=0 nucleon-nucleon amplitudes. These results are compared with phase-shift calculations.

We introduce a novel technique for the investigation of neutron-proton interactions in a bubble chamber, based on the tagging of neutrons by their interactions, which has made possible the absolute normalization of the neutron beams in two experiments. In addition, measurements have been made on elastic scattering and inclusive cross sections which have been largely inaccessible to existing bubble chamber techniques.

The analyzing power A and spin-transfer parameters KNN, KSS, KSL, and KLL have been measured in the np charge-exchange (np→pn) region at 790 MeV. These data provide new and unique information on the spin dependence of the np interaction in the charge-exchange region. Models which explain the charge-exchange peak in the np elastic differential cross section as being due to interference between one-pion exchange and a slowly varying background are in basic agreement with the data.

We report a high-statistics measurement of the neutron-proton charge-exchange differential cross section for incident momenta 3 to 12 GeVc, and four-momentum transfers 0.003 to 0.85 (GeVc)2. The data are normalized absolutely to ±20%. The differential cross section is characterized by a sharp peak at small momentum transfers, with a gentler exponential behavior at large momentum transfers. This shape is remarkably independent of the incident momentum.

The differential cross sections for neutron-proton charge-exchange scattering have been measured for incident neutron momenta between 8 and 29 GeV /c and for four-momentum transfers | t | between 0.002 and 1.0 (GeV/ c ) 2 . A neutron beam with a broad momentum spectrum was scattered from a liquid hydrogen target. The momenta and scattering angles of the forward-scattered protons were measured by a spark-chamber magnet spectrometer. The flight times and scattering angles of the recoil neutrons were measured by a bank of thick scintillation counters. The efficiencies of the neutron counters were determined in a separate measurement. Absolute normalization of the data was obtained from a measurement of the diffraction dissociation of neutrons from carbon nuclei. Differential cross sections, based on ∼ 23 000 events, are presented for 9 different momenta. The shape of the differential cross sections and the momentum dependence are examined in detail.

The differential cross sections for neutron-proton elastic charge-exchange scattering have been measured with a two-arm technique for incident neutron momenta between 22 and 65 GeV/ c and for values of the momentum transfer squared between 0.002 and 0.8 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The sharp forward peak observed previously at lower energies is also present at momenta up to 65 GeV/ c ; however the s dependence of the cross section is slowing down.

We have measured the neutron-proton charge-exchange differential cross section in the momentum interval 60 to 300 GeV/c, with squared four-momentum transfers 0.002 to 0.8 (GeV/c)2. Independent of incident momentum, the data are characterized by a sharp forward peak of width 0.02 (GeV/c)2, followed by a shoulder and gentler falloff at higher momentum transfers.

The differential cross sections for neutron-proton charge-exchange scattering have been measured with high statistics in the region of momentum transfer squared 0.002 < | t | ⩽ 0.400 (GeV/ c ) 2 and for incident neutron momenta 9 < p ⩽ 23 GeV/ c .
