Deuteron Stripping at 3.54 GeV/c

This paper presents the angle and momentum distributions for protons stripped from deuterons at 3.54 GeV/c by aluminum, copper, and lead. The parameters of interest are summarized in the table. Roughly, the results are consistent with a cross section about ½ geometric (where $r=1.22\mathrm{}{A}^{\frac{1}{3}}\times {10}^{-13\mathrm{}}$ cm) and a momentum distribution obtained by transforming the deuteron internal-momentum distribution to the laboratory frame. The results are: $d^{+}$ momentum, 3.54±0.100 GeV/c; $p^{+}$ momentum, 1.77±0.100 GeV/c; angle spread (full width at half-maximum) 3°; ${\sigma }_s\left(\mathrm{Al}\right)$, 290 mb±25%; ${\sigma }_s\left(\mathrm{Cu}\right)$, 550 mb±25%; ${\sigma }_s\left(\mathrm{Pb}\right)$, 950 mb±25%.
