Abstract
We have made the first systematic precision measurement of the deuteron-deuteron total cross sections at 12 incident momenta in the range of 1.5--4.0 GeV/c on a proton synchrotron. The data were obtained by means of the transmission method covering the momentum transfer squared range of 0.001 to 0.009 (GeV/c${)}^{2}$ at each momentum. Our data show no anomalous structure in the excitation function and are in good agreement with Glauber model calculations including the effect of the Fermi motion of the nucleons in the deuteron except at 1.5 GeV/c, where the datum is lower than the calculated value.
