Determination of phase space region for cross-check validation of the neutron detection in the BINA experiments

Abstract

Deuteron breakup reactions are basic laboratories for testing nuclear force models. Recent improvements in the data analysis allow for direct identification of neutrons in the BINA detection setup. This opens up the opportunity to study new aspects of few-nucleon system dynamics like charge dependence of nuclear force or Coulomb interaction. In this paper we determine regions along the kinematical curves where differential cross section of deuteron-proton breakup reactions can be measured by the proton-neutron and proton-proton coincidences simultaneously. %In this paper we determine regions along the kinematical curves where differential cross section of $^1$H$(d,pp)n$ and $^1$H$(d,pn)p$ breakup reactions overlap. This is particularly useful for validation of the neutron detection technique.
