Quasi-Elastic $d(\vec{p},\vec{n})2p$ Reaction and Spin Response Functions of the Deuteron

Abstract

We calculated response functions of the deuteron for charge exchange processes, including the final state interaction between two protons. Using them we evaluated the double differential cross section and polarization observables of $d(\vec{p},\vec{n})2p$ by means of plane wave impulse approximation with an optimal factorization. Calculation well reproduced the shape of the energy spectra of the cross section, though somewhat overestimated the magnitude. It also reproduced the spin observables well.
