We develop a simple model for the evolution of a nucleon spin in a hot and dense nuclear medium. A given nucleon is limited to one-dimensional motion in a distribution of external, spin-dependent scattering potentials. We calculate the…
Non-local interactions are assumed for the deuteron with form factors $g_C(k)= j_0(b_1k)\,j_0(b_2k)$ for the central part responsible for the S-state and $g_T(k)= j_1(b_1k)\,j_1(b_2k)$ for the tensor part responsible for the D-state, where…
