Abstract

The two protons from He2 breakup following (He3, He2) reactions were detected in coincidence, and energy and angular correlations between them were studied and compared with predictions of the final state interaction theories of Watson and Migdal and Phillips, Griffy, and Biedenharn. The angular correlation between the breakup protons drops off much faster than predicted by these theories; a final state interaction empirically derived to fit the angular correlation is sharply peaked at a breakup energy ≈ 0.6 MeV and is quite narrow. Energy distributions of the protons have a dip at the center for small correlation angles which disappears at larger angles. This is well predicted by all final state interaction theories but the slopes of these distributions are much better fit by the empirical final state interaction than by Watson and Migdal or by Phillips, Griffy, and Biedenharn. By maintaining a constant small correlation angle (proton detectors close together), He2 angular distributions were measured and found to be in good agreement with distorted-wave Born approximation predictions.
