Cross section and nucleon analyzing power of \textit{nd} breakup scattering in FSI, QFS and Space Star kinematic conditions at $E_{lab} =$14.1 MeV

Abstract

We study inelastic neutron-deuteron scattering on the basis of the configuration-space Faddeev-Noyes equations [1]. The Merkuriev-Gignoux-Laverne approach [2] is generalized for arbitrary nucleon-nucleon potentials and an arbitrary number of partial waves. Neutron-deuteron breakup amplitudes are calculated using the Argonne AV14 nucleon-nucleon potential at the incident neutron energy 14.1 MeV. To calculate breakup amplitudes we take into account all orbital angular momenta of subsystems $\ell $ and $\lambda \le $ 4, the total angular momentum of a pair nucleons $j \le $ 3, and the total three-body angular momentum $M$ up to 13/2$.$ The angular distribution and nucleon analyzing power A$_{y} $have been calculated for Final State Interaction, Quasi Free Scattering, and Space Star configurations. The results are compared with the experimental data and the prediction of the Bochum group [3]. 1. S.P. Merkuriev, Ann. Phys. (N.Y.) \textbf{130}, 3975 (1980); S.P.
