Correlations of two protons in relativistic dp-collisions

Description

Two-proton correlations in the dp→ppn collisions of relativistic deuterons with protons are considered. These correlations give more information than inclusive proton spectra described in the framework of different deuteron structure function models because of uncertainty in the calculation of secondary interaction contribution (rescattering processes and final state interactions). We present the predictable calculations which show different behaviour of the correlation function for different deuteron structure function models in the kinematic region where contributions of secondary interactions are negligible.
