The "He(p, 2p) H reaction has been studied at 250, 350, and 500 MeV using coplanar symmetric and asymmetric geometries. The data are presented as energy-sharing spectra, coplanar symmetric angular distributions, and quasifree angular distributions. A comparison with distorted wave impulse approximation calculations indicates reasonable agreement for small recoil momenta (q & 150 MeV jc). For larger recoil momenta, the distorted-wave impulse approximation calculations increasingly underestimate the data.The discrepancies are substantially reduced by inclusion of a spin-orbit term in the optical potential used to generate the distorted waves. Improvements of the single particle wave function for the struck nucleon influence the calculations to a lesser degree. The remaining discrepancies at large recoil momenta may, in part, be ascribed to multiple scattering effects and exchange processes not included in the standard distorted-wave impulse approximation.NUCLEAR REACTIONS He(p, 2p ) H; measured d~/(d Q3d Q~dT3), 250, 350, 500 MeV, energy sharing spectra, coplanar symmetric angular distributions, quasifree angular distributions; comparison with DWIA calculations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
