Abstract
The elastic proton-deuteron scattering cross sections at back angles have been calculated in the light of Kerman-Kisslinger model, using a generalised baryon transfer mechanism on the assumption that theN*'s exist (with a probability∼1 %) in the deuteron and that the backward peak is caused by their exchange. The effect of numerous competing open inelastic channels at intermediate energies on the elastic cross section is computed in a particularly simple model of Sopkovich. The resultant damping of the back scattering amplitude is expressed directly in terms of the forward angle elastic scattering data. The results are compared with the experimental cross sections in the energy range of 1.5–2.5 GeV.
