Summary
An upper bound of 3.2-KP13 cm is obtained for the2S neutron-deuteron scattering length without any detailed knowledge of the nuclear potentials. Certain simple assumptions are made concerning the structure of the S-matrix, and the binding energies of the deuteron and the triton is what is required to obtain the bound
Riassunto
Si ottiene un limite superiore di 3.2. 10-13 cm per la lunghezza di scattering neutrone-deutone2S senza avere alcuna dettagliata conoscenza dei potenziali nucleari. Si fanno alcune semplici ipotesi sulla struttura della matriceS e le energie di legame del deutone e del tritone sono quanto occorre per ottenere il valore limite del legame.
