Observation of the Mott Effect in Heavy Ion Collisions

Abstract

Possibility of observing the Mott momentum in the distribution of the deuterons produced in the process $p+n\to d+\gamma$, in the first stage of a nuclear reaction is presented. The correlation of a hard photon with a deuteron allows to select those deuterons produced at the beginning of a reaction.
