Scattering of 190-Mev Deuterons on Protons

A measurement of the total $d-p$ scattering cross section is reported. Because of the divergence of Coulomb scattering at small angles, a small angle cutoff has been applied to the elastic scattering. The result may be stated as follows: The cross section for elastic scattering to angles greater than 10 degrees in the c.m. system, plus the total inelastic scattering cross section, is (${94}_{-5\mathrm{}}^{+7\mathrm{}}$)×${10}^{-27\mathrm{}}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^2$.
