The Elastic Scattering of 380 MeV Protons by Protons II: At Angles less than 30 (c.m.)

Abstract
Measurements on the proton-proton differential elastic scattering cross section at 380 MeV have been made within the angular range 4° to 30° (c.m.). A target of liquid hydrogen was used and a threshold Cerenkov counter was included in the detecting telescope to eliminate particles from inelastic processes. The total cross section for deuteron production was found to be 0.57 ± 0.08 mbn.
