Title: Breakup of deuterons on tritons

Journal Article · · Physics of Atomic Nuclei

The breakup reaction T (d, p)nt at the projectile deuteron energy of 36.9 MeV was studied theoretically and experimentally. The measured inclusive spectra and angular distributions of product protons are presented. A theoretical description of the reaction in question is based on the microscopic nuclear-diffractionmodel and on the theory of resonance processes. It is shown that, in T (d, p) processes, a significant role is played not only by quasifree processes involving final-state interaction that are considered in the diffraction approximation but also by the production of {sup 4}H* and {sup 4}He* resonance states. The experimental results obtained in the present study for the angular and energy distributions of final-state particles can be satisfactorily interpreted with allowance for these resonances. It is shown that only upon taking into account two {sup 4}H* resonances do the calculated spectra of protons from T (d, p) reactions appear to be in good numerical agreement with experimental data.
