The reaction NN \to NN \phi near threshold

Nuclear Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The sensitivity of polarization observables in the reaction NNNNϕNN \to NN \phi slightly above the threshold is studied with respect to the details of the one-boson exchange model and a possible admixture of hidden strangeness in the nucleon. It is shown that the finite-energy predictions differ strongly from the threshold predictions. A measurement of the beam - target asymmetry and the ϕ\phi decay anisotropy can help to disentangle the role of various reaction mechanisms.
