Proton momentum distribution inside deuterium

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the search for a table or functional form of the proton momentum distribution within deuterium. While resources for higher atomic mass nuclei (A=3 and above) are available, specific data for deuterium remains elusive. Participants recommend reviewing the article from the Physical Review journal and suggest exploring recent research conducted at SLAC and JLAB for further insights. Additional resources include a dedicated page from San Jose State University that may contain relevant information.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of nuclear physics concepts, particularly momentum distributions.
  • Familiarity with deuterium and its properties in particle physics.
  • Knowledge of research methodologies in high-energy physics.
  • Ability to access and interpret scientific articles and databases.
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the article "Momentum Distribution of the Deuteron" from the Physical Review journal.
  • Investigate recent findings from SLAC related to proton momentum distributions.
  • Explore the JLAB research outputs on deuterium and its momentum characteristics.
  • Examine the resources provided by San Jose State University for additional data on deuteron properties.
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, researchers in nuclear and particle physics, and students studying the properties of deuterium and proton momentum distributions.

Hello! Can someone point me to some table or functional form of the distribution of proton momentum inside deuterium? I found it for some high A (even for A=3), but can't find it for deuterium. Thank you!
