The presented material could be used as a guide to understanding elements of modern nuclear reactions at intermediate proton energies. Such a guide, in the author’s opinion, can eliminate the existing gap in the available scientific literature.

Different nucleon-nucleus reactions are used in studying effective nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions between the nucleons of nuclear matter. The central isovector component of NN interaction is studied in reactions (p, n) at forward scattering. This is performed using a small contribution from the spin orbit and tensor parts of the interaction. The isovector component of the interaction, unlike the spin-dependent component, is important in describing inelastic proton nuclear scattering with excitation of levels with unnatural parity when the knock-on mechanism is allowed for.

The approach taken in this research involved analyzing these coefficients using different potential models for nucleon-nucleon interactions. We're talking about heavyweight theories like the Franey-Love interaction, the Paris potential, and the Idaho potential from chiral perturbation theories.

In Part II of Chapter Four of the author’s educational online Lecture Courses, the author offers a paper he wrote in collaboration with his colleagues, M. S. Onegin and V. I. Kudryashov. This paper is available in the open press in English and Russian. It combines and systematizes the remarkable experimental achievements of leading nuclear research centers such as LAMPF (with a beam of polarized protons of 500 MeV), the cyclotron laboratory in Osaka (with a beam of polarized protons of 400 MeV in θ⁰ scattering), and the cyclotron laboratory of IUCF of Indiana University (with a beam of polarized protons of 200 MeV). Based on the example of the measured data and comparing them with the theoretically calculated spin transfer coefficients D_ij, the testing of various effective nucleon-nucleon interactions (NN) was carried out. The paper considers the spin observables sensitivity to the spin-orbit and the entire tensor components of NN interaction. Thus, several potentials established within the framework of certain theories have been tested.
