Abstract: (APS)
I show that the shapes of the differential cross sections for the "backward" production of high-energy particles (p, d, t, …, B11), by projectiles of various types (p, d, α), from nuclei of any A (Be,...,U), and for a large range of incident momenta and backward angles, can be related by quasi-two-body kinematics. This permits the direct determination of the shape of the momentum distribution of high-momentum nucleons in nuclear matter. This distribution is shown to be F(k)=exp(−kk0)k over the range 0.4 to 1.5 GeV/c.Note:
