Phase-shift analysis of p-d elastic scattering

Phase shifts for p-d elastic scattering were extracted from the differential cross sections, proton polarization, vector and tensor analysing powers of the 1H(d, d)1H scattering between Ed = 6.0 and 11.5 MeV. Good fits to all the experimental data analysed could be obtained if, in the analysis, all physically expected degrees of freedom such as the splitting of phase shifts, mixing of states of different orbital angular momentum and non-conservation of channel spin were allowed. The angular momenta were restricted to L ≦ 4. The results are discussed and the influence of splitting and mixing on the observables are investigated. The Wolfenstein parameters of the proton scattering are predicted for the present solution and their insensitivity to changes in the phase shifts and mixing parameters is shown.
