High precision studies on angular asymmetries of the differential cross sections in the d+p → 3He+η reaction — •Christopher Fritzsch, Alfons Khoukaz, and Daniel Schröer for the ANKE-Collaboration — Institut für Kernphysik, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, 48149 Münster, Deutschland
Investigations on the total and differential cross sections of the reaction d+p → 3He+η are of special interest since they differ strongly from a pure phase space behavior near threshold. Furthermore, analyses of the asymmetry factor α of the differential cross sections show a distinct effect of s- and p-wave interference, which can be explained by a rapid variation of the relative phase. These effects are an indication for an unexpected strong final state interaction (FSI) between η mesons and 3He nuclei which could lead to a quasi bound state of the 3Heη-system. Current investigations on high precision data at the internal fixed target experiment ANKE of the storage ring COSY enable the extraction of additional total and differential cross sections for the η production up to an excess energy of Q = 15 MeV. These cross sections will significantly improve the accuracy, which will allow to study the behavior of the asymmetry factor α with high resolution. Recent results will be presented and discussed.
