Abstract
The exclusive
(
, t)2p reaction has been studied at 2 GeV for energy
transfers up to 500 MeV and triton angles up to 3.4°.
The protons were measured in the large acceptance magnetic detector
DIOGENE, in coincidence
with the forward tritons detected in a dedicated magnetic arm.
The energy transfer spectra extend well above the pion threshold. However,
in the region of
excitation, the yield is less than 10% of
the inclusive
(
, t) cross-section, which indicates the small
contribution of the
N
NN process. The angular distributions of
the two protons in their center of mass have been analysed as a function of
energy transfer and triton angle and a Legendre polynomial
decomposition has been achieved. These data have been compared to a
model based on a coupled-channel approach for describing the NN and N
systems.
