Quasifreep−nScattering in Deuteron Breakup Induced by 46-MeV Protons

The disintegration of deuterons by protons was investigated in a kinematically complete experiment detecting neutrons and protons. Measurements were made at 42 different pairs of angles, in and out of the scattering plane, using an associated charged-particle time-of-flight technique and a proton counter telescope. Experimental results are compared with spectator-model calculations, using the impulse approximation, and a Chew-Low extrapolation is presented. At a few sets of angles the $n-p$ final-state interaction was observed.
