• The aim of the project is to extend investigations of
NN interaction over a new high energy region of free
polarized neutron beams 1.2 – 3.7 GeV provided
at present only at the JINR VBLHEP.
• The main task of these studies is determination for
the first time the imaginary and real parts of all spin-
dependent elastic np forward scattering amplitudes
over this energy region.
• To reach this aim, a complete data set on energy
dependencies of np spin-dependent observables have
to be obtained for direct and simple reconstruction of
these amplitudes.

At the forward (θCM = 0) and backward (θCM = π) angles five complex invariant amplitudes a, b, c, d, and e from the invariant amplitudes representation, which are the functions of the angle θCM and energy ECM, satisfy the following equations: a(0) − b(0) = c(0) + d(0), e(0) = 0, (1) a(π) − b(π) = c(π) − d(π), e(π) = 0. (2) Therefore only three complex amplitudes are independent in these directions. The forward and backward scattering amplitudes are connected by the angular symmetry conditions. We assume that the I = 1 amplitudes are known. Consequently for the direct reconstruction of the np forward amplitudes, altogether, at least six independent np observables at either the forward or backward directions are needed.

The Delta-Sigma research program foresees the measurements
of total cross section differences ΔσL,T(np) and spin correlation parameters
A00kk(np) and A00nn(np) at θCM = π for the longitudinal (L - along the incident nucleon momentum k) and transverse (T – along the perpendicular n to the k) beam and target polarization directions, respectively.
Dubna SPIN-09 Delta-Sigma experimentt 10
Determination of ΔσL,T (np) Observables The general expression for the total cross section of a polarized nucleon beam
trasmitted through a polarized proton target is (S.M.Bilenky and R.M.Ryndin, Phys.Lett. 6 (1963) 217, R.J.N. Phillips, Nucl.Phys. 43 (1963) 413):
σtot = σ0tot + σ1tot (PB PT) + σ2tot (PB k)(PT k), (3)
where PB and PT are the beam and target polarizations, and k is the unit vector in the incident beam direction.
The term σ0tot is the spin-independent total cross section, and σ1tot and σ2tot are the spin-dependent contributions which connect with the observables ΔσT and ΔσL by the relations:
– ΔσT = 2 σ1tot = [σtot (↑↑) – σtot (↓↑)]/PB PT, (4)
– ΔσL = 2 (σ1tot + σ2tot) = [σtot (→→) – σtot (→←)]/PB PT. (5) From isotopic invariance of strong interaction, one can write the following
expressions for total cross section differences at isosinglet and isotriplet states: ΔσL,T (np) = ½ ΔσL,T (I=0) + ½ ΔσL,T (I=1), (6)
ΔσL,T (pp) = ΔσL,T (nn) = ΔσL,T (I=1), (7)
ΔσL,T (I=0) = 2 ΔσL,T (np) – ΔσL,T (pp). (8) Using the last equation, one can obtain values of ΔσL,T (I=0) from known
quantities of ΔσL,T (np) and ΔσL,T (pp), measured at the same energy.
Dubna SPIN-09 Delta-Sigma experimentt 11
Values of σ0tot, ΔσT and ΔσL are connected with the imaginary parts of three invariant forward scattering amplitudes a + b, c and d via three optical theorems:
σ0tot = (2π/K) Im [a(0) + b(0)], (9)
– ΔσT = (4π/K) Im [c(0) + d(0)], (10)
– ΔσL = (4π/K) Im [c(0) – d(0)]. (11)
From measured ΔσL,T (np) values one can
unambiguously extract imaginary parts of invariant
forward scattering amplitudes c and d using Eq. (10,11).
Dubna SPIN-09 Delta-Sigma experimentt 12
The A00kk(np) and A00nn(np) values are to
be defined in the backward direction. These
observables will be measured by registration
of yields of elastic charge exchange
process np pn at θLab = 0.
They could be measured simultaneously with
the corresponding ΔσL,T(np) transmission
experiments.
Dubna SPIN-09 Delta-Sigma experimentt 13
Measurements of the spin-correlation parameters A00kk(np) and A00nn(np) from np→pn process at 0º in Lab
If the scattered particles are detected at 0º angle then only two non-
vanishing spin-dependent quantities A00nn(E,0º) and A00kk(E,0º) can be
measured from the np→pn scattering.
C.Lechanoine-Leluc and F.Lehar. Rev. Mod. Phys. 65, 47 (1993).
J. Ball, R.Binz, J.Bystricky et al. Eur.Phys.J. C 5, 57 (1998).
These np-observables are connected with the invariant amplitudes by
(the centre of mass system): dσ/dΩ (π) = ½ [|a|2 + |b|2 + |c|2 + |d|2], (12)
dσ/dΩ A00nn(π) = ½ [|a|2 – |b|2 – |c|2 + |d|2], (13) dσ/dΩ A00kk(π) = Re a* d + Re b* c. (14)
These equations can be transformed to: dσ/dΩ (1 + A00kk) = |b + c|2 = A + (Re b + Re c)2, (15)
dσ/dΩ (1 – A00kk – 2A00nn) = |b – c|2 = B + (Re b – Re c)2, (16)
dσ/dΩ (1 – A00kk + 2A00nn) = |b + c – 2d|2 =
= C + (Re b + Re c – 2Re d)2, (17)
where terms A, B, C contain the amplitudes imaginary parts only.
Dubna SPIN-09 Delta-Sigma experimentt 14
Using the known imaginary parts of the forward
amplitudes transformed into the backward
direction, the np differential cross section and
the two spin correlation parameters
A00kk(np) and A00nn(np) at θCM = π
are sufficient to obtain the real parts of all the
three amplitudes from Eqs. (15) − (17).
Dubna SPIN-09 Delta-Sigma experimentt 15
But in contrast to the optical theorems at
θCM = 0 , the scattering amplitudes in the
backward direction are related to the np
scattering observables by bilinear equations.
Each of them may have, in principle, an
independent ambiguity in the sign. The total
ambiguity is then eight-fold at most and any
independent experiment decreases it by a
factor of two.
Dubna SPIN-09 Delta-Sigma experimentt 16
To reduce the total ambiguity in the
scattering amplitude determination, the
Delta-Sigma collaboration performed the
measurements of the ratio
Rdp = dσ/dΩ (nd→p(nn)) / dσ/dΩ (np→pn).
for the charge exchange processes on the
deuterium and hydrogen targets.
Dubna SPIN-09 Delta-Sigma experimentt 17
Experimental observable
Rdp = dσ/dΩ(nd→p(nn )) / dσ/dΩ(np→pn) (18)
is the ratio of a quasi-elastic nd scattering differential cross section to the free np elastic scattering one. At θCM = π F.Lehar. Phys. Part. Nucl. 40, No. 6 (2009)
Rdp (π) = (2/3) · dσ/dΩSD ( np) / dσ/dΩ(np), (19)
Rdp (π) = (2/3) · [0.25 · |a - b|2 + 0.5 · ( |c|2 - |d|2 )] / 0.5 · ( |a|2 + |b|2 + |c|2 + |d|2 ), (20)
where dσ/dΩSD ( np) is the “spin-dependent” part of the np→pn differential crosssection.
The values of Rdp can give one additional relation between spin-dependent NN-amplitudes and a set of such data allows to avoid one uncertainty of extraction of amplitudes real parts.
Energy dependence of the ratio Rdp for elastic charge exchange process np→pn at 0º in Lab (or elastic np→np backward scattering in C.M.S.) has been measured using high intensity unpolarised neutron beam from the Nuclotron and the magnetic spectrometer of the Delta-Sigma set-up with liquid hydrogen and deuterium targets.

Using adequate T-polarized neutron beam and T-polarized proton target to perform
– the measurements of the ΔσT (np) at the same energy points (1.2 – 3.7 GeV) as for ΔσL (np) with energy steps
of 100–200 MeV and expected statistical errors ≤ 0.5 mb;– the measurements of the energy dependencies of spin-
correlation parameter A00nn (np) at the same energy points as for ΔσT (np) with expected statistical errors 0.02–0.05. These measurements will be performed simultaneously with and independently of the ΔσT (np) ones.

Nucleon-Nucleon Formalism Throughout the project and results publications we used the NN formalism and notations for elastic nucleon-nucleon scattering observables from Bystricky J., Lehar F., Winternitz P. J. Phys. (Paris). 1978. v.39. p. 1.Assuming parity conservation, time-reversal invariance, the Pauli principle, and isospin invariance, the nucleon-nucleon scattering matrix can be written in term of only five invariant amplitudesM(k', k) = ½ [(a+b)+(a-b)(σ1,n)(σ2,n)+(c+d)(σ1,m)(σ2,m)+(c-d)(σ1,l)(σ2,l)+e(σ1+σ2,n)], (1)
where σ1 and σ2 are the Pauli 2x2 matrices acting on the first and second nucleon wavefunctions, and k and k' are unit vectors in the direction of the incident and scatteredparticles, respectively. The invariant amplitudes a, b, c, d and e are complex functions oftwo variables, e. g., the center of mass (c. m.) energy k and scattering angle θ. In the forward direction at θ=0, total angular momentum conservation implies that e=0 and a-b=c+d. Similarly at 180º one obtains e=0 and a-b=c-d. The center of mass basis vectors are given by
l = (k'+k)/(|k'+k|), m = (k'-k)/(|k'-k|), n = (k'xk)/(|k'xk|). (2)
Dubna SPIN-09 Delta-Sigma experimentt 56
For the pp, nn, and np interactions, the scattering matrix can be written in term of two
matrices M0 and M1 having the same form as Eq. (1)
M(k',k) = ¼ M0 [1-(τ1, τ2)] + ¼ M1 [3+(τ1, τ2)], (3)
where τ1 and τ2 are isosinglet and isotriplet scattering matrices. Ignoring electromagnetic
interaction, one can write
M(pp→pp) = M(nn→nn) = M1,
M(np→np) = M(pn→pn) = ½ (M1+M0), (4)
M(np→pn) = M(pn→np) = ½ (M1-M0).
This formalism uses a four-subscript notation Xsrbt for experimental quantities.
Subscripts s, r, b, and t refer to the polarization components of the scattered, recoil,
beam, and target particles, respectively.
For any c. m. observable Xpqik, the following expression holds
dσ/dΩ Xpqik = ¼ Tr ( σ1p σ2q M σ1i σ2k M+), (5)
where
dσ/dΩ = I0000 = ¼ Tr ( M M+), (6)
is the unpolarized differential cross section.
