Abstract

NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document. The cross section for the reaction [...] was measured at the Caltech synchrotron. The [...] was detected by measuring its decay gamma rays with two lead glass, total absorption Cherenkov counters. The results are three angular distributions at k = 911, 1180, and 1390 MeV, at forward angles from 3 degrees to 90 degrees. The deuteron/proton ratio differs significantly from 2.0, but final state effects from the use of a deuteron target make impossible quantitative conclusions about the neutron cross section.
