Abstract
The elastic breakup of 56 MeV deuterons has been studied in a kinemati cally complete measurement at theta(p) = theta(n) = 0-degrees. The tri ple differential cross section exhibits a conspicuous double-peaked st ructure. Its magnitude reaches a maximum at around Ca-40 as a function of target. These characteristic features are analyzed on the basis of the distorted-wave Born-approximation theory and turn out to be stron g evidence for the Coulomb breakup of the deuteron.
