Ma. Espy et al., ASYMMETRIES FOR ELASTIC-SCATTERING OF PI(-3 AND THE DELTA-NEUTRON SPIN-SPIN INTERACTION() FROM POLARIZED HE), Physical review letters, 76(20), 1996, pp. 3667-3670
Asymmetries for pi(+) elastic scattering from polarized He-3 were meas
ured across the Delta(1232) pi-nucleon resonance region at incident en
ergies T-pi = 142, 180, and 256 MeV. Large discrepancies were found be
tween the data and calculations that use the multiple scattering forma
lism and Faddeev wave functions. Inclusion of a Delta-neutron spin-spi
n interaction term in the calculations gives a greatly improved repres
entation of the data.
