Yury GurchinJune 2011 MEASUREMENT OF THE CROSS-SECTION IN DP-ELASTIC SCATTERING AT THE ENERGIES OF 500 AND 880 MEV AT NUCLOTRON
DSS project The main aim of present investigation is to measure the cross-section of dp-elastic scattering at the energies of 500 and 880 MeV using kinematical coincidences of deuteron and proton with simple plastic scintillation counters and CH2 and C targets at the internal target station at the Nuclotron. • The purpose of DSS (DeuteronSpinStructure) project is broadening of energy and angular ranges of measurement of different variables in processes including 3-nucleon systems. The main aim of offered experiment program is extraction of information from spin depending part of 3-nucleon forces. • DSS project experimental program includes 2 experiments, one of them is the experiment of dp-elastic scattering study. During it will be done measurement of cross-section, vector Ay, tensor Ayy and Axx analyzing powers in dp-elastic scattering in the range of 300 and 1000 MeV of the deuteron kinetic energy. • The goal for the nearest runs is to measure the cross-section of dp-elastic scattering reaction in wide deuteron energy range with the step not more than 100 MeV in the region from 500-1000 MeV. This is needed for an experiment to measure analyzing powers for the dp-elastic scattering. Page 2

Conclusions The following results has been obtained: • The procedure of the dp-elastic scattering cross-section measurements at internal target station at Nuclotron using CH2-C subtraction has been established. • The first results of the cross-section measurement in dp-elastic scattering at the energies of 500 and 880 MeV have been obtained. The results show the reasonable behaviour as the function of the scattering angle. • The goal for the nearest runs is to measure the cross-section of dp-elastic scattering reaction in wide deuteron energy range with the step not more than 100 MeV in the region from 500-1000 MeV.
