Scattering of Protons by Tritons

Abstract

The proton-triton differential scattering cross section has been measured for laboratory angles between 45° and 135° and proton energies between 0.7 and 2.5 Mev. In this angular range the scattering is predominantly nuclear and shows a rapid increase in intensity for angles greater than 90° in the center of mass system. Some indications of anomalous behavior near the threshold for ${\mathrm{T}}^3\mathrm{}(p,n)\mathrm{}{\mathrm{He}}^3$ are reported.
