Abstract
We have measured total cross sections for protons, dueterons, particles, and on hydrogen, deuterium, helium, and carbon targets at 1.55 and 2.89 GeV/c nucleon using the "good geometry" transmission method. In addition, we measured the inelastic cross sections and elastic slope parameters for reactions initiated by deuterons, particles, and . Our results are in good agreement with Glauber theory predictions, but the factorization relation is not a good guide. We find mb and mb, where is the atomic mass number of the target (projectile).
