Physical Region on the Plane of Two Invariant Momentum Transfers for a Reaction with Three Particles in the Final State
Abstract
The boundary of the kinematically allowed region on the plane of two invariant momentum transfers of a reaction with three particles in the final state is derived and the phase-space distribution in this region determined. The boundary may in the most general case consist of branches of a complicated curve, a parabola, and two straight lines. Applications to the analysis of doubly peripheral reaction mechanisms are discussed.
