Question 39
PHMCQ2 marksNeeds review
Two projectile protons
and
both with spin up (along the +
direction) are scattered from another fixed target proton
with spin up at rest in the
plane, as shown in the figure. They scatter one at a time. The nuclear interaction potential between both the projectiles and the target proton is
, where
is the orbital angular momentum of the system with respect to the target,
is the spin angular momentum of the system and
is a negative constant in appropriate units. Which one of the following is correct?
