Summary

We generalize the MacDowell-Martin bound on the slope parameterb A for the spinless case to the case of spin-0-spin-1/2 elastic scattering with parity conservation. We give the optimal answer for all energies as well as the simpler (slightly weaker) bound\(cb^A \geqslant \frac{{\sigma _{tot}^2 }}{{36\pi \sigma _{el} }}\left[ {\sqrt {1 + \frac{{9\pi \sigma _{el} }}{{4k^2 \sigma _{tot}^2 }}} + 1} \right] - \frac{1}{{4k^2 }} (k = c.m. momentum).\) Here the superscript A refers to the absorptive-part contribution. We also obtain unitarity restrictions on the helicity-flip amplitude\(cf_{ + - }^A (t)/\sqrt { - t} |_{t = 0} \) in terms ofσ tot,σ el, andb A(s).

Riassunto

Si generalizza il limite di McDowell- Martin sul parametro di inclinazioneb A per il caso privo di spin fino al caso dello seattering elastico tra spin nullo e spin 1/2 con conservazione della parità. Si dà una risposta ottimale per tutte le energie così come per il limite più semplice (leggermente più debole)\(cb^A \geqslant \frac{{\sigma _{tot}^2 }}{{36\pi \sigma _{el} }}\left[ {\sqrt {1 + \frac{{9\pi \sigma _{el} }}{{4k^2 \sigma _{tot}^2 }}} + 1} \right] - \frac{1}{{4k^2 }}(k = impulso del centro di massa).\) L'esponente A si riferisce al contributo della parte assorbente. Si ottengono restrizioni di unitarietà sull'ampiezza dell'elicità-flip\(cf_{ + - }^A (t)/\sqrt { - t} |_{t = 0} \) in termini diσ tot,σ el, eb A(S).

Резюме

Мы обобщаем гранипу МкДовелла-Мартина для параметра наклонаb A для бесспинового случая на случай упругого рассеяния спина 0 на спине 1/2 с сохранением четности. Мы приводим онтимальный ответ для всех энергий, а также более простую гранипу

гдеk—импульс в системе центра масс. Здесь индекс Ν относится к абсорбционному вкладу. Мы также получаем ограничения на амплитуду с изменением спиральности\(cf_{ + - }^A (t)/\sqrt { - t} |_{t = 0} \) в терминахσ полн,σ упр иb A(S).
