Relativistic deuteron-nucleus scattering in the Kemmer-Duffin-Petiau formalism

Abstract

We present a description of the spin-1 Kemmer-Duffin-Petiau equations and make an application to deuteron-nucleus scattering. Comparison with d+58Ni elastic scattering data at 400 MeV shows that the Kemmer-Duffin-Petiau model reproduces experimental spin observables quite well. © 1988 The American Physical Society.
