On the close to threshold meson production in neutron-neutron collisions

Abstract

A method of measuring the close to threshold meson production in neutron-neutron collisions is described where the momenta of the colliding neutrons can be determined with the accuracy obtainable for the proton-proton reaction. The technique is based on the double quasi-free nn->nnX0 reaction, where deuterons are used as a source of neutrons.
