We describe a novel technique for comparing total cross sections for the reactions pp --> pp pi(0), pp --> pp eta, and pp --> pp eta' close to threshold. The initial and final state proton-proton interactions are factored out of the total…
It is often stated that heavy-ion nucleon knockout reactions are mostly sensitive to the tails of the bound-state wavefunctions. In contrast, (p,2p) and (p,pn) reactions are known to access information on the full overlap functions within…
