Effects of the Coulomb Field on Scattering by Deuterium

The Coulomb field is included in the analysis of scattering by deuterium via an exact solution within the framework of Glauber theory. New multiple-scattering effects occur. These involve double scatterings by the Coulomb interaction and the neutron and by the Coulomb interaction and the proton strong interaction, and triple scattering by the Coulomb interaction, the neutron, and the proton strong interaction. Coulomb effects in $\mathrm{pp}$ collisions are obtained as a special case of $\mathrm{pd}$ scattering.
