Abstract

The data analysis is in progress with the aim to determine the differential cross sections for the \(^{1}\)H(dpp)n breakup reaction at four deuteron beam energies between 300 and 400 MeV. The data have been measured with the use of the WASA detector at COSY-Jülich. This work is focused on the beam energy of 380 MeV (190 MeV/nucleon). Set of proton-proton coincidences registered at the Forward Detector is analysed on a dense grid of kinematic variables. The one of the main steps of the analysis is efficiency study. Their impact on the final accuracy of the result is discussed.
