Abstract: (APS)
Coulomb-nuclear interference in high-energy charged-hadron-deuteron collisions is treated exactly within the framework of Glauber theory. Charge-distribution effects are included. Applications are made to pd measurements below 70 GeV to extract ρn, the ratio of real to imaginary parts of the proton-neutron forward elastic scattering amplitude. An alternative and earier analysis is shown to yield comparable values for ρn. Both results for ρn differ significantly from an earlier analysis.
