Deuteron Stripping at 3.54 GeV/<i>c</i>

This paper presents the angle and momentum distributions for protons stripped from deuterons at 3.54 GeV/c by aluminum, copper, and lead. The parameters of interest are summarized in the table. Roughly, the results are consistent with a cross section about \textonehalf{} geometric (where $r=1.22{A}^{\frac{1}{3}}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}13}$ cm) and a momentum distribution obtained by transforming the deuteron internal-momentum distribution to the laboratory frame. The results are: ${d}^{+}$ momentum, 3.54\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.100 GeV/c; ${p}^{+}$ momentum, 1.77\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.100 GeV/c; angle spread (full width at half-maximum) 3\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}; ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{s}(\mathrm{Al})$, 290 mb\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}25%; ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{s}(\mathrm{Cu})$, 550 mb\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}25%; ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{s}(\mathrm{Pb})$, 950 mb\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}25%.
