1. Introduction and motivation• One of the most exciting challenges of physics: understanding of

nuclear structure

• simplest nucleus: deuteron

Chadwick and Goldhaber (1934):

Heavy hydrogen ... is the simplest of all nuclear systems and its prop-erties are as important in nuclear theory as the hydrogen is in atomictheory

In the following, empirical proof of this statement:

1932:Experimental discovery of deuterium (heavy hydrogen) by Urey,Brickwedde and Murphy (UBM):

– Small discrepancy between chemical atomic weight of hydro-gen and mass of hydrogen determined by mass spectroscopy

– Hypothesis of Birge and Menzel: existence of heavy hydrogen(A = 2) (deuterium)

– Recall: energy eigenvalues of nonrelativistic hydrogen atom:

En =mee

8ε20h21 + me

with mK denoting nuclear mass

– larger mass of deuterium leads to satellite lines at somewhathigher energies as for normal hydrogen, experimentally ob-served by UBM

1933:mass spectroscopic investigation of deuterium by Bainbridge

1934:Investigation of deuteron photodisintegration by Chadwick andGoldhaber:

Conclusion I: Shortly after its discovery, deuterium served as a toolto study fundamental neutron properties!

Apart from deuteron, also nucleon-nucleon scattering essential forunderstanding of strong force

Summary of essential properties of NN-force:

• NN-force is of short range (a few fm).

• NN-force is attractive in its intermediate range.

• The nuclear force has a repulsive core.

rough estimate:

Experiment: 1S0-phase shift in NN-scattering becomes negativefor ELab ≈ 250 MeV

Classical orbital angular momentum L involved in a range R isgiven by

L ≈ R p

where p denotes the momentum of the incoming nucleon in theCM-frame:

.

With L ≤ 1, ELab = 250 MeV one obtains

R ≤ 0.6 fm .

Models for the NN-interaction (no complete list!!!):

• phenomenological treatments: Hamada/Johnson (1962), Yale(1962), Reid (1968)

Drawback: typically 30-50 free parameters!

• field-theoretical models, based on the assumption that meson-exchange is able to describe the NN-force:

→ Bonn-potential in various parametrizations (OBEPR, OBEPQ, fullBonn, etc.). Alternative approach by the Nijmegen-group.Advantage: typically only 10-12 free parameters

• in the low energy regime Effective Field Theory (see nextchapter)

After constructing the potential V , one has to determine the scatter-ing amplitude T given by (z = W + iε)

T (z) = V + V G0(z)T (z) .

The matrixelements of T(z) determine the observables in NN-scattering(phase shifts, mixing angles etc.)

Summary of the results:

• One-boson-exchange of π, ρ, ω- and fictitious σ-meson is sufficientto obtain a reasonable description of the deuteron properties andthe NN-phase shifts till π-threshold.

• major contributions:

(a) π (spin 0, isospin 1): tensor force, long range part

(b) ρ (spin 1, isospin 1): tensor force (opposite to π),

(c) ω (spin 1, isospin 0) tensor force (opposite to π), repulsive partof central force, spin-orbit force

(d) σ (spin 0, isospin 0) attractive part of central force, spin-orbitforce

• additional mesons (δ, η) for fine tuning

• number of free parameters: 10-12 (OBEPR, OBEPQ)

• an improved, almost perfect description of the experimental datacan be achieved by choosing different parameter sets for each par-tial wave (→ CD-Bonn)

The Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule

An important question is:

What is the spin asymmetry of the neutron?

Can the deuteron be used as an effective neutron target?

For that, one basic assumption must be fulfilled:The spin asymmetry on the deuteron has to be dominated by thequasifree process, so that binding and final state effects arisingfrom the presence of the spectator nucleons can be neglectedessentially, resulting in an incoherent sum of proton and neutroncontributions.

Explanation:For GDH on the deuteron, besides π-production also thebreakup-channel has to be taken into account, i.e.

γ + d → πd coherent π-production

γ + d → πNN incoherent π-production

γ + d → NN Photodisintegration

Strong anticorrelation between different channels in case of deuterontarget:

Consequence: Deuteron not suitable as effective neutron target forextraction of GDH on neutron, but spin asymmetry for itself veryinteresting quantity

4. Summary and outlook• Deuteron constitutes the ”hydrogen atom” of nuclear physics

• two-nucleon physics important for

– Investigation of neutron properties

– Investigation of fundamental reaction mechanisms in nuclearphysics

• Basic requirement for future studies: Unification

The deuteron constitutes a “fundamental” object of nuclear physics
