Polarization observables of the $\vec{d}\vec{p}\to \vec{p}d$ reaction and one-neutron-exchange approximation

Abstract

The polarization observables in the elastic scattering of polarized deuterons on a polarized hydrogen target, with measurement of the recoil proton polarization, are considered. The observables are calculated in the one-neutron exchange approximation, for the special case of backward scattering (${\theta }_{c.m.}=180^{\circ }$). Several new relations between polarization observables of the reaction are derived within the framework of this approximation.
