Final-state interactions in the production of hydrogen and helium isotopes by relativistic heavy ions on uranium

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Double-differential cross sections have been measured for high-energy p, d, t, /sup 3/He, and /sup 4/He particles emitted from uranium targets irradiated with /sup 20/Ne ions at energies of 250, 400, and 2100 MeV/nucleon and /sup 4/He ions at 400 MeV/nucleon. By using the shape and yield of the proton energy spectra, the shape and yield of the d, t, /sup 3/He, and /sup 4/He energy spectra can be deduced at all measured angles for all incident projectile energies by assuming that they are formed by a coalescence of cascade nucleons, using a model analogous to that of Butler and Pearson, and Schwarzschild and Zupancic.
