Determination of the Asymptotic D - to S -State Ratio of the Deuteron Wave Function

Year: 1979

Type: article

Abstract: Cross sections and tensor analyzing powers in $\mathrm{dp}$ elastic scattering, measured at 35 and 45 MeV, are used to determine the asymptotic $D$- to $S$-state ratio of the deuteron wave function. The results agree with the value determined at lower energies and provide a considerably more precise averaged value: ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{D}=0.0263\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0013$.
