Book excerpt: An investigation has been made of the angle and energy distributions of the high energy charged particles which emerge from beryllium, carbon, and uranium nuclei bombarded by 190 Mev deuterons. The results indicate that the yields can be explained as primarily due to two kinds of processes; nucleon-nucleon interactions, and stripping. Under this assumption, the total stripping cross section has been determined to be 0.35 ℗± 0.03 barns for the lighter elements and 2.6 ℗± 0.4 barns for uranium. These values suggest an A2/3 dependence for this cross section.
