New estimation for neutron-neutron scattering length: charge symmetry and charge independence breaking revisited


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Recent experimental results for neutron-neutron scattering length are reanalyzed from the point of view of three-nucleon force contribution. We found that the limiting value of $a_{nn}=- 15.8pm 0.5$~fm must be free of any implicit three-body force contribution. We have also shown that the difference between the above experimental value of $a_{nn}$ and the well established value of neutron-proton scattering length $a_{np}$ can be explained by differences in the one-pion exchange potentials.
