Abstract
The high-energy part of the proton spectrum at 4° from the reaction at 14.4 Mev has been analyzed using the final-state interaction formalism, taking into account only the interaction in the final state. The primary interaction has been calculated in a kind of Born approximation. It has been shown that the shape of the high-energy part of the proton spectrum is dependent mostly on the scattering length, , and that by varying , a good fit to the shape of this part of the spectrum is obtained. From this analysis, a value of f has been obtained. However, this value of is to some extent dependent on the accuracy of the approximations used. A more refined theoretical treatment would therefore be desirable.
