Phillips, G. C.

During the year 1973 the program goals of carrying out experimental and theoretical studies in intermediate energy physics were continued. Work at the Space Radiation Effects Laboratory on small-angle pion Coulomb multiple scattering from nuclei was completed, and the small-angle Coulomb--nuclear interference studies and total cross sections were continued. Experiments on p--d breakup were started and, in addition to observing quasi-free nucleon-- nucleon scattering, a strongly enhanced neutron--proton final state interaction was observed at 585 MeV for the first time. In July 1973 the outfitting of the Rice-owned portable laboratory was completed, including operation of the AEC-owned PDP-11 online computer system, and the laboratory was moved to Los Alamos, New Mexico (LAMPF). In the fall of 1973 the group aided the LAMPF staff in tuning the P{sup 3} pion channel. Principal collaborators in all this work were the University of Houston group. (auth)
