Abstract
High-precision measurements of the proton-deuteron elastic and break-up reactions have been performed in the past at KVI and elsewhere with the aim to study three-nucleon force (3NF) effects in the break-up scattering process by performing a measurement of vector analyzing powers and differential cross sections using a 135 MeV polarized-proton beam impinging on a liquid-deuterium target. For this study, we used a new experimental setup, Big Instrument for Nuclear-polarization Analysis, BINA, which covers almost the entire kinematical phase space of the break-up reaction. The results are interpreted with the help of state-of-the-art Faddeev calculations.
