J. Liu et al., TEST OF A DENSITY-DEPENDENT INTERACTION USING INPLANE -28((P)OVER-RIGHT-ARROW,(P)OVER-RIGHT-ARROW')SI-28 POLARIZATION TRANSFER MEASUREMENTS, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 53(4), 1996, pp. 1711-1717
We report measurements of in-plane polarization transfer for nine natu
ral-parity isoscalar transitions in the <Si-28((p)over right arrow>, (
p)over right arrow>p')Si-28 reaction using a 198.5 MeV polarized proto
n beam. These measurements test in a new way the validity of an empiri
cal effective NN interaction derived from cross section and analyzing
power measurements for similar transitions. The test is successful, de
monstrating the need to modify the free NN interaction in the nuclear
medium.
