Charge Symmetry Breaking in the n p --> d pi0 reaction
Abstract
The asymmetry in the angular distribution of n p --> d pi0 due to Charge Symmetry Breaking is calculated using Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory. Recent developments in power counting have proven successful in describing total cross sections, and we apply them to the asymmetry calculation. Reducibility in one of the leading order diagrams is examined. We compare the updated theory with experimental results for a range of physically reasonable parameters and find over-prediction for the entire range.
