Precision data are presented for the break-up reaction, H2(p→,pp)n, within the framework of nuclear-force studies. The experiment was carried out at KVI using a polarized-proton beam of 190 MeV ...impinging on a liquid-deuterium target and by exploiting the detector, BINA. Some of the vector-analyzing powers are presented and compared with state-of-the-art Faddeev calculations including three-nucleon forces effect. Significant discrepancies between the data and theoretical predictions were observed for kinematical configurations which correspond to the H2(p→,He2)n channel. These results are compared to the H2(p→,d)p reaction to test the isospin sensitivity of the present three-nucleon force models. The current modeling of two and three-nucleon forces is not sufficient to describe consistently polarization data for both isospin states.
High precision cross-section data of the deuteron–proton breakup reaction at 130 MeV deuteron energy are compared with the theoretical predictions obtained with a coupled-channel extension of the CD ...Bonn potential with virtual Δ-isobar excitation, without and with inclusion of the long-range Coulomb force. The Coulomb effect is studied on the basis of the cross-section data set, extended in this work to about 1500 data points by including breakup geometries characterized by small polar angles of the two protons. The experimental data clearly prefer predictions obtained with the Coulomb interaction included. The strongest effects are observed in regions in which the relative energy of the two protons is the smallest.

The data obtained for over 1000 kinematical points (112 geometries) are compared with the theoretical predictions based on various models of the three-nucleon (3N) dynamics. They comprise: the realistic nucleon-nucleon potentials alone or combined with the three-nucleon force (3NF), the coupled-channel calculations with the explicit treatment of the

-isobar excitation and finally, the potentials derived from chiral perturbation theory. In the part of the phase space studied, the Coulomb interaction between protons has a strong impact on the differential cross section of the breakup reaction. The strongest Coulomb effects are found in regions where the relative energy of the two protons is the smallest. In these regions the data are well reproduced exclusively by calculations which include the electromagnetic repulsion between protons. In spite of the dominance of the Coulomb force in the phase space studied, the contribution of 3NF effects is also observed.

results quite well. In a few configurations small inconsistencies between the data and the results of all approaches are observed. Predicted effects of the 3NF are not big and in most cases do not lead to an improved description of the data. The Coulomb force effects are also small in size and often opposite to the effects of TM99 3NF.

This paper discusses some of the recent results obtained in a deuteron-deuteron scattering experiment using a polarized beam of deuterons with an incident energy of 130 MeV. A 4π detection system ...allowed to measure cross sections and spin observables for various final-state configurations. Here, we discuss the quasi-free elastic deuteron-proton scattering process in deuteron-deuteron scattering which has been observed by analyzing kinematical configurations for which the target neutron acts as a spectator particle. This part of the data can be compared directly to three-nucleon calculations and with existing data for the elastic deuteron-proton scattering process. The results for the polarization observables iT11 and T22 agree well with elastic scattering data published so-far and measured concurrently using a proton target. Surprisingly, the tensor observable T20 shows significant discrepancies with data taken using a proton target.
One of the most important goals of modern nuclear physics is to contruct nuclear force model which properly describes the experimental data. To develop and test predictions of current models the ...breakup super(1)H(d,p p)n reaction was investigated experimentally at 100 and 130 MeV deuteron beam energies. Rich set of data for cross section, vector and tensor analyzing powers was obtained with the use of the SALAD and BINA detectors at KVI and Germanium Wall setup at FZ-Julich. Results are compared with various theoretical approaches which describe the three-nucleon (3N) system dynamics. For correct description of the cross section data both, three-nucleon force (3NF) and Coulomb force, have to be included into calculations and influence of those ingredients is seizable at specific parts of the phase space. In case of the vector analyzing powers very low sensitivity to any effects beyond nucleon-nucleon interaction was found. At 130 MeV, the Axy data are not correctly described when 3NF models are included into calculations.
High precision vector and tensor analyzing power data of the deuteron-proton elastic scattering at 130 MeV deuteron beam energy have been measured in a large range of angles. They are compared with ...theoretical predictions obtained in various approaches: with realistic potentials for pure NN interactions, with the inclusion of a three-nucleon force, and in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. All the theoretical calculations describe roughly the main features of the measured distributions, but none of them can reproduce all their details. This indicates the need for further development of the three-nucleon force models.
Three-nucleon system dynamics can be investigated quantitatively by comparing observables calculated with the use of Faddeev equations with results of precise measurements. Proper description of the ...experimental data can be achieved only if the dynamical models include, in addition to the nucleon-nucleon interaction, subtle effects of suppressed degrees of freedom, effectively introduced by means of genuine three-nucleon forces. A large set of high precision, exclusive cross-section data for the

H(d,pp)n breakup reaction at 130 MeV contributes significantly to constrain the physical assumptions underlying the theoretical interaction models. Comparison of nearly 1,800 cross section data points with the predictions using nuclear interactions generated in various ways, allowed to establish importance of including both, the three-nucleon and the Coulomb forces to significantly improve the description of the whole data set.
