Production of protons, deuterons and tritons on carbon by intermediate energy neutrons

Abstract

Inclusive cross sections for production of protons, deuterons and tritons on carbon by neutrons in the energy range of 300–580 MeV were determined at nine angles between 51° and 165°. The invariant cross sections are well represented by an exponential fit, E dσ d 3p ∝ exp (−Bp 2) . The slope parameters exhibit a systematic dependence on incident energy and emission angle. The results are discussed on the basis of the model of quasi-two-body scaling.
