New technique for phase shift analysis: multi-energy solution of inverse scattering problem

We demonstrate a new approach to the analysis of extensive multi-energy data. For the case of d + He-4, we produce a phase shift analysis covering for the energy range 3 to 11 MeV. The key idea is the use of iterative perturbative data-to-potential inversion which can produce potentials which reproduce the data simultaneously over a range of energies. It thus effectively regularizes the extraction of phase shifts from diverse, incomplete and possibly somewhat contradictory data sets. In doing so, it will provide guidance to experimentalists as to what further measurements should be made. This study is limited to vector spin observables and spin-orbit interactions. We discuss alternative ways in which the theory can be implemented and which provide insight into the ambiguity problems. We compare the extrapolation of these solutions to other energies. Majorana terms are presented for each potential component.

Moscow-type NN-potentials and three-nucleon bound states

A detailed description of Moscow-type (M-type) potential models for the NN interaction is given. The microscopic foundation of these models, which appear as a consequence of the composite quark structure of nucleons, is discussed. M-type models are shown to arise naturally in a coupled channel approach when compound or bag-like six-quark states, strongly coupled to the NN channel, are eliminated from the complete multiquark wave function. The role of the deep-lying bound states that appear in these models is elucidated. By introducing additional conditions of orthogonality to these compound six-quark states, a continuous series of almost on-shell equivalent nonlocal interaction models, characterized by a strong reduction or full absence of a local repulsive core (M-type models), is generated. The predictions of these interaction models for 3N systems are analyzed in detail. It is shown that M-type models give, under certain conditions, a stronger binding of the 3N system than the original phase-equivalent model with nodeless wave functions. An analysis of the 3N system with the new versions of the Moscow NN potential describing also the higher even partial waves is presented. Large deviations from conventional NN force models are found for the momentum distribution in the high momentum region. In particular, the Coulomb displacement energy for nuclei ^3He - ^3H displays a promising agreement with experiment when the ^3H binding energy is extrapolated to the experimental value.

Improved $d$+$^4$He potentials by inversion, the tensor force and validity of the double folding model

Improved potential solutions are presented for the inverse scattering problem for $d$+$^4$He data. The input for the inversions includes both the data of recent phase shift analyses and phase shifts from RGM coupled-channel calculations based on the NN Minnesota force. The combined calculations provide a more reliable estimate of the odd-even splitting of the potentials than previously found, suggesting a rather moderate role for this splitting in deuteron-nucleus scattering generally. The approximate parity-independence of the deuteron optical potentials is shown to arise from the nontrivial interference between antisymmetrization and channel coupling to the deuteron breakup channels. A further comparison of the empirical potentials established here and the double folding potential derived from the M3Y effective NN force (with the appropriate normalisation factor) reveals strong similarities. This result supports the application of the double folding model, combined with a small Majorana component, to the description even of such a loosely bound projectile as the deuteron. In turn, support is given for the application of iterative-perturbative inversion in combination with the double folding model to study fine details of the nucleus-nucleus potential. A $d$-$^4$He tensor potential is also derived to reproduce correctly the negative $^6$Li quadrupole moment and the D-state asymptotic constant.
