Abstract

A 9Be(p, 2p) coincidence experiment performed to further elucidate the reaction mechanism for the production of energetic wide-angle protons in intermediate-energy proton-induced reac- tions is reported. Detectors in a coplanar geometry were used to measure coincidences between trigger protons at 90° to the beam and forward-angle protons on the opposite side of the beam. The incident proton energy was 300 MeV. We report both the inclusive spectra for the trigger protons and the differential mean multiplicities for the coincidence events.

The outgoing proton energies were measured using NaI detectors. Trigger protons were grouped into 10 MeV bins covering the kinetic energy range from 55 to 155 MeV. The forward protons were measured over a kinetic energy range of 65–280 MeV and an angular range of 14–60° with respect to the beam.

The present results are compared with two previous experiments which covered a more restrictive kinematical range. Calculations are performed with both phase-space and direct knockout models, and compared with experiment. Observation of angle and energy correlation effects suggested by knockout models indicate that such direct mechanisms provide a significant contribution to energetic wide-angle inclusive proton spectra.
