Inversion of triton moments

We use the formalism of hyperspherical harmonics to calculate several moments for the triton photoeffect, for a Volkov spin-independent potential. First, we improve the accuracy of Maleki's calculations of the moments sigma/sub 2/ and sigma/sub 3/ by including more terms in the hyperspherical e...

Zusammenfassung:We use the formalism of hyperspherical harmonics to calculate several moments for the triton photoeffect, for a Volkov spin-independent potential. First, we improve the accuracy of Maleki's calculations of the moments sigma/sub 2/ and sigma/sub 3/ by including more terms in the hyperspherical expansion. We also calculate moments sigma/sub 0/ and sigma/sub 1/ for a Serber mixture. We find reasonable agreement between our moments found by sum rules and those found from the cross sections calculated by Fang et al. and Levinger-Fitzgibbon. We then develop a technique of inversion of a finite number of moments by making the assumption that the cross section can be written as a sum of several Laguerre polynomials multiplied by a decreasing exponential. We test our inversion technique successfully on several model potentials. We then modify it and apply it to the five moments (sigma/sub -/1 to sigma/sub 3/) for a force without exchange, and find fair agreement with Fang's values of the cross section. Finally, we apply the inversion technique to our three moments (sigma/sub -/1, sigma/sub 0/, and sigma/sub 1/) for a Serber mixture, and find reasonable agreement with Gorbunov's measurements of the /sup 3/He photoeffect.
