Outline • Introduction. Urgency of the data obtaining for np spin observables in the GeV region. Aim of the Delta-Sigma experiment. • Determination ofthe ΔσL,T(np), A00kk(np), A00nn(np) and Rdpobservables and research program of experiment. • Experimental set-up with instrumentation for transmission ΔσL,T(np)measurements and magnetic spectrometer for elastic nppn charge exchange events detection. • The resultsobtained in frame of Delta-Sigma experiment research program. • Coming ΔσT(np) measurementsat the Nuclotron-M. Delta-Sigma experimentt
The aim of the project is to extend investigations ofNNinteraction over a new high energy region of free polarized neutron beams1.2 – 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 allspin-dependent elasticnpforwardscattering amplitudes over this energy region. • To reach this aim, a complete data set on energy dependencies ofnp spin-dependent observables have to be obtained for direct and simple reconstruction of these amplitudes. Delta-Sigma experimentt
At the forward (θCM = 0) and backward(θCM = π) angles five complex invariant amplitudesa, b, c, d, and efrom 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 independentin these directions. The forward and backwardscattering amplitudes are connected by the angularsymmetry conditions. We assume that the I = 1amplitudes are known. Consequently for the directreconstruction of the npforward amplitudes, altogether, at least six independent npobservables at either the forward or backward directionsare needed. Delta-Sigma experimentt
The Delta-Sigma research program foresees the measurements of total cross section differencesΔσL,T(np) and spin correlation parameters A00kk(np)and A00nn(np)atθCM= π for the longitudinal (L- along the incident nucleon momentumk) and transverse (T– along the perpendicularnto thek) beam and target polarization directions, respectively. Delta-Sigma experimentt
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)(PTk),(3) where PBand PTare 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 σ1totand 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. Delta-Sigma experimentt
Values ofσ0tot, ΔσTandΔσLare connected with the imaginary parts of three invariant forwardscattering amplitudesa + b, c anddvia three opticaltheorems: 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 measuredΔσL,T (np)values one can unambiguouslyextract imaginary parts of invariant forward scattering amplitudesc anddusingEq. (10,11). Delta-Sigma experimentt
The A00kk(np)and A00nn(np) values are to be defined in the backward direction. These observables will be measured by registration ofyields of elastic charge exchange processnppn at θLab = 0. They could be measured simultaneously with the corresponding ΔσL,T(np) transmission experiments. Delta-Sigma experimentt
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. Delta-Sigma experimentt
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)atθCM = π are sufficient to obtain the real parts of all the three amplitudes from Eqs.(15) − (17). Delta-Sigma experimentt
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. Delta-Sigma experimentt
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. Delta-Sigma experimentt
Experimental observable Rdp = dσ/dΩ(nd→p(nn )) / dσ/dΩ(np→pn)(18) is the ratio of a quasi-elastic ndscattering differential cross section to the free np elastic scattering one. At θCM = πF.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 cross section. 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 Rdpfor elastic charge exchange process np→pn at 0ºin Lab (or elastic np→np backward scattering in C.M.S.) has been measured using high intensity unpolarised neutron beam from theNuclotron andthe magnetic spectrometer of the Delta-Sigma set-up with liquid hydrogen and deuterium targets.

THE COMING RESEARCH PROGRAM The coming research program under the project on 2010–2012 is following: 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. Delta-Sigma experimentt

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 amplitudes M(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 wave functions, and k and k' are unit vectors in the direction of the incident and scattered particles, respectively. The invariant amplitudes a, b, c, d and e are complex functions of two 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) Delta-Sigma experimentt
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 (σ1pσ2q M σ1iσ2k M+), (5) where dσ/dΩ = I0000 = ¼ Tr ( M M+),(6) is the unpolarized differential cross section.
