The reaction D (?i,2n)p has been measured at i£ inc =14.1 MeV, 9 n^ =0 n^ = 30°,
150 MeV, 1 " 3 ' 20 but it fails at E inc <100 MeV. 4 " 10 Various simple modifications have been proposed: (i) off-the-energy-shell effects, but they do not seem to be large enough to account for the discrepancy between the data and the theory 10 ' 20 * 21 ; (ii) final-state interaction (FSI) effects, which improve the fit to the data at E inc £150 MeV, 2 ' 3 * 20 but do not explain the 46-MeV data 5 ; (iii) modified simple impulse approximation (MSIA), 22 which explains the energy variation of the absolute cross section and the shape of the spectra. 6 These simple models are inadequate at low energies, 23 ' 24 and indeed they do not explain, e.g., the observed ratio D(p,pn)/D(p, 2£). 6 ' 9 ' 13 ' 14 ' 5 Neutron-neutron interaction remains a problem of considerable interest. 26 The latest analysis of the reaction D(ti~,nn)y gives a value of a nn = ~16.6 ±1.3 fm. 27 A comparison procedure 28 applied to the reactions D(p,n)2p, D(n,p)2n, 3 Re(d,t)2p, and 3 R(d, 3 He)2n gives a nn =-16.45± 1.0 fm and r m = 3.1 ±0.5 fm. This application has been criticized 10 ' 29 * 30 and these values are not reliable independent determinations of a nn and r nn .Neutron-neutron QFS was studied by bombarding a cylindrical 2-in.x2-in.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
