Meson factories and the two‐nucleon problem
DOI: 10.1063/1.3021780
The interaction between two nucleons was first investigated almost 40 years ago and still occupies a central place in contemporary research. Efforts to understand this complex phenomenon have been hampered by the lack of precise data for all the pertinent observables. The experimental situation will be remedied in 1972 when accelerators producing beams 10 000 times more intense than presently attainable begin operation. The new breed of accelerator, informally called “meson factories,” will initially operate in the energy range below 1 GeV but may someday reach 20 GeV.
