Deuteron The nucleus of the atom of heavy hydrogen, 2H (deuterium). The deuteron d is composed of a proton and a neutron; it is the simplest multinucleon nucleus. Its binding energy is 2.227 MeV; that is, this is the amount of energy which must be added to a deuteron for it to dissociate into a proton and a neutron. Deuterons are much used as projectiles in nuclear bombardment experiments. See Nuclear reaction How to thank TFD for its existence?

| Use of a tensor polarized deuteron target avoids the 1/A suppression, and a test using a few hundred MeV polarized proton beam is planned for the COoler SYnchrotron storage ring facility (COSY) at the Institut fur Kernphysik (IKP) Juelich, Germany by the Time Reversal Invariance Test at COSY collaboration (TRIC). To sort out what was happening, the RHIC teams turned to the less energetic collisions between gold ions and deuterons. corpuscular radiation such as alpha- and beta-radiation, high energy electrons, protons, deuterons and neutrons. |
