Abstract

The cross-sections and analyzing powers for (p,n)(p,n) reactions on 3He{}^{3}{\rm He} and 4He{}^{4}{\rm He} have been measured at a bombarding energy of TpT_p = 346 MeV and reaction angles of θlab\theta_{\rm lab} = 9.49.4^{\circ}--2727^{\circ}. The energy transfer spectra for 3He(p,n){}^{3}{\rm He}(p,n) at large θlab\theta_{\rm lab} (\ge 1616^{\circ}) are dominated by quasielastic contributions, and can be reasonably reproduced by plane-wave impulse approximation (PWIA) calculations for quasielastic scattering. By contrast, the known LL = 1 resonances in 4Li{}^{4}{\rm Li} are clearly observed near the threshold in the 4He(p,n){}^{4}{\rm He}(p,n) spectra. Because these contributions are remarkable at small angles, the energy spectra are significantly different from those expected for quasielastic scattering. The data are compared with the PWIA calculations, and it is found that the quasielastic contributions are dominant at large θlab\theta_{\rm lab} (\ge 2222^{\circ}). The nuclear correlation effects on the quasielastic peak for 4He(p,n){}^{4}{\rm He}(p,n) are also discussed.
