Abstract
A kinematically complete study of the pd → (pp)sn reaction with forward emission of an S-wave proton pair (pp)s has been performed at six beam energies 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.95, 1.35 and 1.9 GeV. The experiment was carried out at the ANKE spectrometer installed at the internal beam of the proton synchrotron COSY (Jülich). The 3-momenta of both final state protons have been measured and events with a relative proton energy less than 3 MeV were selected as 1S0 diprotons. The differential cross sections of such pair production averaged over the c.m. polar angle of the total momentum of the pair in the range 0°–8.1° have been obtained. A comparison of the result with a theoretical model based on the mechanism of pd-backward elastic scattering is described as well.
