The cross section is expressed in terms of scattering parameters directly related to the S-matrix element. The cross section depends on the poorly known p-wave effective range parameter r. This constitutes the leading order uncertainty in traditional model calculations. It is explicitly demonstrated by comparing with potential model calculations. A single parameter fit describes the low energy data extremely well and yields r = -1.47 fm^{-1}.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-12-31T06:24:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "25.20.-x", "25.40.Lw" ], "keywords": [ "radiative neutron capture", "low energy halo effective field", "model calculations", "energy halo effective field theory", "cross section depends" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2011, "month": "Jun", "volume": 106, "number": 22, "pages": 222501 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 883294, "adsabs": "2011PhRvL.106v2501R" } } }
