Abstract
A phenomenological explanation is proposed for the pronounced peaks observed in some coincidence spectra of the reaction at low relative energies in the proton-neutron system. It is shown that the density-of-states formalism of Phillips, Griffy, and Biedenharn which includes explicitly the fact that the system is produced in a spatially localized state can describe the observed spectral shapes with the pure, isospin-allowed, proton-neutron final-state interaction. In addition, the model satisfactorily describes the case of low relative energy between the deuteron and neutron.
