Abstract

The reaction ${Li}^{6} (p, p α) d$ was studied as a function of angle at 61.5 MeV. The cross section was measured for ten proton angles. Using the quasifree knockout approximation, the ${Li}^{6} (p, p α) d$ angular distribution was compared with the free $p - α$ elastic-scattering angular distribution. The agreement between the two is extremely good.
