Title: Shrinking of the diffraction peak in elastic scattering by deuterons and light nuclei

OSTI ID:7356199

It is shown that the growth of the Glauber correction on with energy causes a rapid shrinking of the diffraction peak (i.e., an increase of the effective value of ..cap alpha..'/sub eff/). Measurement of ..cap alpha..'/sub eff/ for a deuteron (or a light nucleus) can yield the rate of growth of the correction for screening with increasing energy and the value of the three-pomeron vertex in the region of very small momentum transfers absolute value t<0.2 GeV/sup 2/.
