From the interactions of a deuteron beam in a liquid-hydrogen target at energies near the d+p-+ 3 He + 77 threshold, r? events were selected on the basis of the momentum-analyzed 3 He with a background of less than 2%. This opens the way to a 3 He-tagged r\ beam at Saturne, with a possible flux of 10 4 -10 5 77' s per pulse. The present data allow an evaluation of the cross section down to less than 0.5 MeV above threshold. The deuteron tensor analyzing power f 20 has also been measured: The small negative value found at threshold (-0.15 ±0.05) seems incompatible with models based on one-pion exchange.
The total cross section for ω production in the pp → ppω reaction has been measured at five c.m. excess energies from 3.8 to 30 MeV. The energy dependence is easily understood in terms of a strong protonproton final state interaction combined with a smearing over the width of the state. The ratio of near-threshold φ and ω production is consistent with the predictions of a one-pion-exchange model and the degree of violation of the OZI rule is similar to that found in the π − p → nω/φ reactions.
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.
