Abstract

The two-body breakup of ³He by 390 MeV electrons has been studied with good missing energy resolution for recoil momenta p_R of 200 up to 500 MeV/c. Both the ³He(e,e′p) ²H and ³He(e,e′d) ¹H channel were employed to obtain the data. We discuss a possible excess of high momentum components in the framework of two theoretical treatments of the reaction that include the final state interaction and employ Faddeev bound-state wave functions. Within the context of these models no clear indication for such an excess in the two-body breakup channel can be assessed.

Energy levels of light nuclei A=3

A compilation of experimental and theoretical information is presented on the mass 3 systems ³n, ³H, ³He and ³p. Emphasis is on advances since the previous evaluation Tilley et al. (1987) [1987TI07] such as, (1) detailed calculations of the vector and tensor analyzing powers for neutron and proton scattering by deuterium which led to the discovery of the still unresolved analyzing power puzzle, (2) the wide spread use of polarized ³He targets which allowed for the experimental study of sum rules among other things and (3) the ability to include the Coulomb interaction in three-body calculations. As stated in the 1987 evaluation and is still the case, there is no firm evidence for either excited states of ³H or ³He nuclei or for the existence of the trineutron or triproton.
Electron and photon scattering on three-nucleon bound states
2005, Physics Reports
A big spectrum of processes induced by real and virtual photons on the ³He and ³H nuclei is theoretically investigated through many examples based on nonrelativistic Faddeev calculations for bound and continuum states. The modern nucleon–nucleon potential AV18 together with the three-nucleon force UrbanaIX is used. The single nucleon current is augmented by explicit $π$ - and $ρ$ -like two-body currents which fulfill the current continuity equation together with the corresponding parts of the AV18 potential. We also employ the Siegert theorem, which induces many-body contributions to the current operator. The interplay of these different dynamical ingredients in the various electromagnetic processes is studied and the theory is compared to the experimental data. Overall we find fair to good agreement but also cases of strong disagreement between theory and experiment, which calls for improved dynamics. In several cases we refer the reader to the work of other groups and compare their results with ours. In addition we list a number of predictions for observables in different processes which would challenge this dynamical scenario even more stringently and systematically.
Proton-induced break-up of <sup>3</sup>He at 35MeV
1990, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The reactions ³He + p → d + p + p, and ³He + p → p + p + p + n have been studied at 35MeV. These reactions are dominated by quasi-two-body processes: pp and pd quasi-free scattering, pp final-state interactions, and neutron pick-up. We compare our data with phenomenological calculations which describe these processes and establish significant discrepancies. Our data are also compared with four-body calculations based on exact integral equations, which give a much better description and we show that if one would use potentials that yield the correct ³He binding energy and if one would take even approximately into account the Coulomb interaction a much better agreement would be achieved with all the data.

The <sup>3</sup>H + p → p + n + d reaction at a tritium momentum of 5 GeV/c
1990, Nuclear Physics, Section A
Using a liquid hydrogen bubble chamber of the ITEP, 80 cm in diameter, a study was made of the ³H + p → p + n + d reaction with an incident momentum of 5 GeV/c for the tritium nuclei. The reaction cross section was 20.4 ± 0.2 mb. The angular, momentum and mass distributions of the reaction products in the 4π geometry have been obtained. We have separated the phase-space regions corresponding to quasi-free pn scattering and to the final-state Nd interaction. In the region of quasi-free pn scattering various experimental spectra are compared with the theoretical predictions, by using pole diagrams with nuclear vertex functions for three NN potentials: the Yamaguchi potential, the RSC potential and the potential in the quark-compound bag model. In the mass spectra of pn, pd and nd systems no evidence for the exhibition of two- and three-baryon resonances has been obtained.
