Cross-section and vector-analyzing-power data for three star configurations of the 2 H(p ជ ,pp)n breakup reaction at E p lab ϭ65 MeV were measured in a kinematically complete experiment. They are compared to rigorous Faddeev calculations involving five realistic charge-dependent nucleon-nucleon potentials: Argonne v 18 , CD Bonn, Nijmegen 93, Nijmegen I, and Nijmegen II. A general satisfactory agreement between theory and experiment has been found. However, there exist also a few minor discrepancies in cross sections in some regions of phase space. The experimental data are compared also to the calculations including the ͑-͒ Tucson-Melbourne three-body force. Their effects are either negligible or increase the disagreement with the experiment. ͓S0556-2813͑97͒01601-4͔

A compact electron cyclotron resonance proton source has been developed and installed recently at the Paul Scherrer Institute's high intensity proton accelerator. Operation at the ion source test stand and the accelerator demonstrates a high reliability and stability of the new source. When operated at a 10-12  mA net proton current the lifetime of the source exceeds 2000 h. The essential development steps towards the observed performance are described.
