$\Delta$-mass dependence of the M-matrix in the calculation of $\text{mbox}N\Delta \to \text{mbox}NN$ cross sections

Abstract

Within the one boson exchange model, $\Delta$-mass dependent M-matrix and its influence on the calculation of $N\Delta \to NN$ cross sections are investigated. Our calculations show that the $m_{\Delta }$ dependence of $|{\text{p}}_{N\Delta }|$ and $|\mathcal{M}{|}^2$ has effects on the calculations of ${\sigma }_{N\Delta \to NN}$, especially around the threshold energy. We finally provide a table of accurate ${\sigma }_{N\Delta \to NN}$ which can be used in the transport models.
