Outline of Final Research Achievements

Three-body forces play an important role to determine the equation of state of the nuclear matter. The three-body forces also play an important role to describe the elastic scattering of polarized protons from 14C at 300 MeV. Therefore, in order to evaluate the effect of the three-body forces, we plan the experiment in normal kinematics.
Great care must be taken when handling 14C which is not sealed. By taking safety measurements, we could make the 14C target, and observe the scattering without radiation exposure and radioactive contamination. Therefore, it is concluded that we established a basis for measuring the elastic scattering of protons from unstable nuclei in normal kinematics.
