Abstract

Deuteron continuum spectra induced by 70,90 and 110 MeV 3He particles have been measured for a number of target nuclei. Each spectrum shows a broad bump at forward angles, the peak energy of which is about 23 of the incident 3He energy and the cross section is nearly proportional to the radius of the target nucleus. The results are compared with projectile break-up calculations reflecting the internal deuteron momentum distribution in 3He. The good fit of the calculations shows that the continuum bump originates mainly from the projectile break-up process, and the mass number dependence of the cross section indicates that such a break-up reaction occurs at the peripheral region of the target nucleus.
