The experimental data on d-d collisions at 4.3, 6.3 and 8.9 GeV/ c , exhibiting the two-peak structure in the high-momentum parts of the secondary deuteron spectra at momentum transfers | t | ≈ 0.4–0.8 (GeV/ c ) 2 , are presented. An analysis of the results in terms of the multiple nucleon-nucleon scattering model is given. Some conclusions about the mechanism of the elastic and quasielastic d-d scattering at the above-mentioned momentum transfers are made.
We have measured the inclusive cross section for production of negative pions near mid-rapidity in 20 Ne + NaF , 139 La + 139 La and 197 Au + 197 Au collisions at E = 183 and 236 MeV/u. Au + Au is the heaviest system from which subthreshold pion production has been measured to date. The dependence of the pion cross section on pion energy, beam energy and associated charged particle multiplicity is consistent with previous results both above and below threshold. The dependence of the cross section on the mass of the colliding system varies only slightly as the beam energy is reduced below threshold, in contrast to some previous measurements. Comparison with theory suggests that at these energies the pion production process is still dominated by nucleon-nucleon collisions.
