Proton-induced deuteron breakup at 156 MeV

The ²H(p,2p)n and ²H(p,pn)p reactions have been investigated simultaneously using the 156 MeV synchrocyclotron beam. Outgoing nucleons were detected in coincidence by a NaI detector and a large liquid scintillation counter providing energy-time-of-flight-biparametric spectra from which the threefold differential cross sections d³σdΩ₁dΩ₂dE₁ are deduced. For suitable angle pairs, the experimental spectra show either the characteristic quasi-free scattering peak, or the p-p or p-n final state interaction peaks. The experimental results are compared with various theoretical predictions; i.e., a simple spectator model calculation, off-energy-shell calculations including first and second order terms of a multiple scattering series, with or without the Coulomb interaction, and extension to intermediate energy of a Amado type model. These theoretical calculations are briefly discussed.NUCLEAR REACTIONS d³σdΩ₁dΩ₂dE₁)ₑₓₚ for ²H(p,2p) and ²H(p,pn) reactions at 156 MeV. Studies of p-n and p-p final state interactions.
