Die Verzerrung des Deuterons bei der elastischenn-d-Streuung

Abstract

Neutrons scattered at deuterons will distort the deuteron wave function. This effect is of special interest in the² S state where a step towards formation of an intermediary triton is possible. In this paper we deal with a distortion consisting of a spherically symmetrical contraction of the deuteron. It can be shown that under reasonable assumptions the contraction does not go as far as to reduce the average nucleon distance to triton size, but that the effect on² S phase shifts is remarkable and leads to a much better agreement with the results of the empirical phase shift analysis. Results have also been obtained for the⁴ S phase shifts.
