Born-Approximation Formulation of Neutron-Deuteron Scattering with Tensor Interaction

Abstract

The Born approximation for $n-d$ scattering is calculated for a nucleon-nucleon interaction which includes a tensor term. The $l=0\mathrm{}$ parts of the resulting scattering amplitude are adjusted to obtain a fit to the $n-d$ elastic angular distributions. Spin-polarization phenomena are then calculated, with good agreement with experiment.
