Multiple scattering effects for quasifree scattering in 3He(d,dd)1H breakup reaction

The differential cross sections for the ³He(d, dd)¹H breakup reaction have been measured in the kinematical region corresponding to quasifree scattering (QFS). The angular dependence of the cross section at the minimum laboratory energy of the unobserved proton has been obtained. The shapes of energy spectra are approximately reproduced by a calculation in the plane-wave impulse approximation (PWIA). As for the angular dependence of the cross section and for the absolute values, the calculation fails to reproduce the experimental results. A calculation with multiple scattering effects reproduces the experimental data well, not only for the shape of the energy spectra but also for the angular dependence. For the absolute cross sections, the ratio of the experimental values to the calculated ones with multiple scattering effects is 0.7 and this value is improved compared with the value of 0.3 obtained by the PWIA calculation.
