Inelastic Scattering from Deuterium in the Impulse Approximation

Abstract

We evaluate in detail the differential cross sections for arbitrary processes $\mathrm{ad}\to \mathrm{bpp}$ and $\mathrm{ad}\to b^{\prime }\mathrm{pn}$ in the impulse approximation, with spin and isospin effects and the deuteron $D$ state properly included. Approximations valid when a single term of the free-nucleon amplitude dominates are given.
