Stripping of deuterons with 2·45 GeV/c momentum in nuclear emulsion

This paper is concerned with the evaluation of the cross-section (d, p) of the stripping due to collision of a fast-deuteron beam with atom nuclei forming a photographic nuclear emulsion without evaporation of nuclei. The cross-section was estimated using the deuteron mean free path with respect to mentioned reactions. The deuteron track on which the stripping reaction took place was identified according to the change of the characteristic of multiple scattering. Corrections were taken for the primary-beam impurities and for the length of each track where reaction was nor identifiable.Devoted to Professor V. Petrílka on his sixty-fifth birthday.
