Deuteron Elastic Asymmetry:
The formula for the elastic deuteron asymmetry, that I was using in my
analysis is taken from the Donnelly & Raskin Paper: Please see
the following PDF: DeuteronDonnelly.pdf
Simon also contacted several theoretical physicists and they all agreed
that deuteron Pzz inside 3He is 0 and not +1. I also found a paper
on arxiv showing how the Pzz (rho20) and Pz (kappa) change with the momentum
of the deuteron inside 3He (arXiv:1204.0425v2):
Comparing measurements to the data
We also made progress on comparing the data to the theory. Now we know how to
properly use theoretical asymmetries provided by the Hannover/Lisbon group.
However, at the moment, they are available only for the in-plane (phi_{pq} = 0)
limit. For the comparison, Krakow in-plane results are also shown.
Simon also contacted both theoretical groups and asked them if they can
provide more detailed calculations, considering more kinematic points,
calculations for out-of-plane conditions, and calculations with
different components of wave-function turned off (Work in progress!).
FARM analysis with new db_BB.mwdc.dat file
I ran analysis on FARM computers for approx. 60 runs. The analysis
of these new data sets shown, that with the new DB file we get
approx. 30% more protons (as expected), but only 5% more deuterons.
Therefore, Simon and I decided to wait with this analysis and first deal
with other, more important problems.
