On the possible use of polarized targets for the determination of resonance spins and parities

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

Under certain conditions the use of polarized targets permits the determination of resonance spins and parities. We calculate, as a function of these two quantum numbers, effects which may be observed in several experimental situations.

Riassunto

In certe condizioni l’adozione di bersagli polarizzati consente la determinazione di spin e parità delle risonanze. Si calcolano, in funzione di questi due numeri quantici, gli effetti che si possono osservare in molte situazioni sperimentali.
