This report describes the calculations of polarization observables in deuteron-proton scattering, suggesting insights into scattering mechanisms.
Deuteron-proton elastic scattering is considered in the multiple-scattering-expansion model. Four reaction mechanisms are taken into account: one-nucleon exchange, single scattering, double scattering, and delta-isobar excitation in an intermediate state. The model calculates the reaction amplitude, which allows us to find the angular dependence of both the differential cross section and any polarization observables. In this report, we present the calculation results for the deuteron and proton analyzing powers, as well as for the proton polarization transfers in comparison with the data at the deuteron energy of 1.6 GeV.
