The Differential Cross Section And The Nucleon Analysing Power For The N(D , Nn)P Process At 65 Mev As Tools To Improve The Jisp16 Potential

The JISP16 nucleon-nucleon potential is applied to investigate the nucleon-induced deuteron breakup reaction at energy E = 65 MeV. We use the formalism of the Faddeev equation to compute the differential cross section and the nucleon analyzing power. Our study reveals that this force delivers, in general, a qualitatively similar description of the exclusive cross section and the analyzing power for the studied reaction to the one based on the standard realistic nucleon-nucleon AV18 interaction. However, in some regions of the phase space the predictions for the differential cross sections based on the JISP16 and on the AV18 forces differ by more than 50% at E = 65 MeV. Similar differences are observed for the nucleon analyzing power. Such specific parts of the phase space can be used to fine-tune the JISP16 potential parameters.
