Abstract

Correlations between protons, deuterons, and tritons at small relative momenta were measured for ${}^{16}O$ -induced reactions on ${}^{197}{Au}$ . Final-state interactions are observed for all measured correlations. Analysis of the measured two-deuteron correlations favors the $d - d$ phase shifts extracted by $R$ -matrix techniques over those found from the resonating-group approach. The two-deuteron correlations, which cannot be explained by the decay of unbound resonances, yield source radii which are considerably larger than those extracted from two-proton correlations.
