Final-State Interactions between Noncompound Light Particles forO16-Induced Reactions onAu197atEA=25MeV

Abstract
Correlations between protons, deuterons, and tritons at small relative momenta were measured for O16-induced reactions on Au197. Final-state interactions are observed for all measured correlations. Analysis of the measured two-deuteron correlations favors the dd phase shifts extracted by R-matrix techniques over those found from the resonating-group approach. The two-deuteron correlations, which cannot be explained by the decay of unbound resonances, yield source radii which are considerably larger than those extracted from two-proton correlations.
