Abstract

The deuteron sepctra from ( $n, d$ ) reactions at 800 MeV near 0° are characterized by a high energy quasielastic scattering peak, and at lower momentum, a quasifree scattering peak. The ratio of the quasifree to quasielastic cross sections is approximately 10:1. Both cross sections exhibit an $A^{\frac{1}{3}}$ mass dependence over the range of target nuclei studied. Comparisons are made with corresponding proton-induced quasielastic and quasifree deuteron production.

NUCLEAR REACTIONS $n + X \to d$ . $E_{lab} = 800$ MeV. Measured deuteron quasielastic and quasifree cross sections near 0°.
