The condition that the two deuterons fuse to form an alpha-particle then leads to peaks at small missing masses, the well-known ABC enhancement, but also a broad structure around the maximum missing mass. With a simplified input amplitude the model gives a quantitative description of both the alpha-particle momentum and angular distributions for a deuteron beam energy of 1250 MeV.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1997-09-22T15:30:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "intermediate energies", "target deuterons undergoes pion production", "explanation", "well-known abc enhancement", "deuteron beam energy" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 448703 } } }
