We introduce a novel technique for the investigation of neutron-proton interactions in a bubble chamber, based on the tagging of neutrons by their interactions, which has made possible the absolute normalization of the neutron beams in two experiments. In addition, measurements have been made on elastic scattering and inclusive cross sections which have been largely inaccessible to existing bubble chamber techniques.

Neutron-Proton Charge Exchange Scattering from 8-GeV/c to 29-GeV/c

The differential cross sections for neutron-proton charge-exchange scattering have been measured for incident neutron momenta between 8 and 29 GeV /c and for four-momentum transfers | t | between 0.002 and 1.0 (GeV/ c ) 2 . A neutron beam with a broad momentum spectrum was scattered from a liquid hydrogen target. The momenta and scattering angles of the forward-scattered protons were measured by a spark-chamber magnet spectrometer. The flight times and scattering angles of the recoil neutrons were measured by a bank of thick scintillation counters. The efficiencies of the neutron counters were determined in a separate measurement. Absolute normalization of the data was obtained from a measurement of the diffraction dissociation of neutrons from carbon nuclei. Differential cross sections, based on ∼ 23 000 events, are presented for 9 different momenta. The shape of the differential cross sections and the momentum dependence are examined in detail.

The differential cross sections for neutron-proton charge-exchange scattering have been measured with high statistics in the region of momentum transfer squared 0.002 < | t | ⩽ 0.400 (GeV/ c ) 2 and for incident neutron momenta 9 < p ⩽ 23 GeV/ c .
