Measurement of the vector and tensor analyzing powers for dp- elastic scattering at 880 MeV
The vector Ay and tensor analyzing powers Ayy and Axx for dp- elastic
scattering were measured at Td = 880 MeV over the c.m. angular range from 60 to
140 degrees at the JINR Nuclotron. The data are compared with predictions of
different theoretical models based on the use of nucleon-nucleon forces only.
The observed discrepancies of the measured analyzing powers from the
calculations require the consideration of additional mechanisms.Comment: 5 pages,3 figure
Proton-deuteron radiative capture cross sections at intermediate energies
Differential cross sections of the reaction have been
measured at deuteron laboratory energies of 110, 133 and 180 MeV. The data were
obtained with a coincidence setup measuring both the outgoing He and the
photon. The data are compared with modern calculations including all possible
meson-exchange currents and two- and three- nucleon forces in the potential.
The data clearly show a preference for one of the models, although the shape of
the angular distribution cannot be reproduced by any of the presented models.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures, accepted for publication in EPJ
Mjerenje s dobrom statistikom emisije dvaju fotona i dileptona pri proton-proton raspršenju na 190 MeV
The first high-statistics measurement of double-photon and dilepton yields in proton-proton scattering below the pion threshold has been performed. The data obtained will allow a detailed study of the proton-proton interaction.Izveli smo prvo mjerenje s dobrom statistikom emisije dvaju fotona i dileptona pri proton-proton raspršenju na energiji ispod praga za produkciju piona. Dobiveni podaci omogućuju dodatno proučavanje svojstava međudjelovanja protona
Effects of the magnetic moment interaction between nucleons on observables in the 3N continuum
The influence of the magnetic moment interaction of nucleons on
nucleon-deuteron elastic scattering and breakup cross sections and on elastic
scattering polarization observables has been studied. Among the numerous
elastic scattering observables only the vector analyzing powers were found to
show a significant effect, and of opposite sign for the proton-deuteron and
neutron-deuteron systems. This finding results in an even larger discrepancy
than the one previously established between neutron-deuteron data and
theoretical calculations. For the breakup reaction the largest effect was found
for the final-state-interaction cross sections. The consequences of this
observation on previous determinations of the ^1S_0 scattering lengths from
breakup data are discussed.Comment: 24 pages, 6 ps figures, 1 png figur
Systematic investigation of the elastic proton-deuteron differential cross section at intermediate energies
To investigate the importance of three-nucleon forces (3NF) systematically
over a broad range of intermediate energies, the differential cross sections of
elastic proton-deuteron scattering have been measured at proton bombarding
energies of 108, 120, 135, 150, 170 and 190 MeV at center-of-mass angles
between and . Comparisons with Faddeev calculations show
unambiguously the shortcomings of calculations employing only two-body forces
and the necessity of including 3NF. They also show the limitations of the
latest few-nucleon calculations at backward angles, especially at higher beam
energies. Some of these discrepancies could be partially due to relativistic
effects. Data at lowest energy are also compared with a recent calculation
based on \chipt
Enabling quantitative data analysis through e-infrastructures
This paper discusses how quantitative data analysis in the social sciences can engage with and exploit an e-Infrastructure. We highlight how a number of activities which are central to quantitative data analysis, referred to as ‘data management’, can benefit from e-infrastructure support. We conclude by discussing how these issues are relevant to the DAMES (Data Management through e-Social Science) research Node, an ongoing project that aims to develop e-Infrastructural resources for quantitative data analysis in the social sciences
A new form of three-body Faddeev equations in the continuum
We propose a novel approach to solve the three-nucleon (3N) Faddeev equation
which avoids the complicated singularity pattern going with the moving
logarithmic singularities of the standard approach. In this new approach the
treatment of the 3N Faddeev equation becomes essentially as simple as the
treatment of the two-body Lippmann-Schwinger equation. Very good agreement of
the new and old approaches in the application to nucleon-deuteron elastic
scattering and the breakup reaction is found.Comment: 20 pages, 3 eps figure

Ethical and methodological issues in engaging young people living in poverty with participatory research methods
This paper discusses the methodological and ethical issues arising from a project that focused on conducting a qualitative study using participatory techniques with children and young people living in disadvantage. The main aim of the study was to explore the impact of poverty on children and young people's access to public and private services. The paper is based on the author's perspective of the first stage of the fieldwork from the project. It discusses the ethical implications of involving children and young people in the research process, in particular issues relating to access and recruitment, the role of young people's advisory groups, use of visual data and collection of data in young people's homes. The paper also identifies some strategies for addressing the difficulties encountered in relation to each of these aspects and it considers the benefits of adopting participatory methods when conducting research with children and young people
