2. 1 Introduction Study of the three-nucleon system at low energy region  DCS of elastic scattering  3NF effect is small  NN + 3NF+ Coulomb reproduce the data well Kievsky et al, PRC64 (2001) 24002. Spin observables still have some problems (Ay puzzle etc) But Cross sections are explained sufficiently !!

3. 2 pd breakup reaction @ low energy Study at 13MeV for some configurations （ solid ： pd, open ： nd ）  Quasi-free scattering (QFS)  Final state interaction (FSI)  Introduction of the Coulomb into the calculation improved the predictions.  Some discrepancies are left to be explained.  Space-star (SST)  Large discrepancy between the data of pd and nd can not be explained by the Coulomb effects.  The theoretical prediction overestimates the pd data about 20%.

CD Bonn CD Bonn +  CD Bonn +  +Coulomb 1 H(d,pp) breakup measurement at E d =19MeV (9.5MeV/A) at Köln  3NF effects slightly improve the theory by 5 – 8%.  The predictions with 3NF and Coulomb effects still overestimate the data up to 30%. Off-plane-star anomaly

6. 5 Motivation We performed the measurements of 1 H(d,pp) breakup reactions at E d = 26 MeV at RCNP  Off-plane star anomaly is truly exist or not?  Systematical study of the discrepancy between the data and the theory  Measurements for some other configurations (SST, FSI) of pd breakup reactions have performed at E p = 13 MeV at KUTL tandem accelerator, Kyushu University. Off-plane star configuration measurements of 2 H(p,pp) at E p = 13 MeV at KUTL.  Range of  = 0 – 180 deg will be covered by the data of RCNP & KUTL

Beam Beam spot Atmosphere Inside Scattering chamber Motor Rotation feedthrough Beam Line Deutron 26MeV 200nA, 0.3mg/cm2 Rotary target system  Through magnetic coupling, a shaft in a vacuum chamber is rotated by a motor in the air.  The target foil : 5cm diameter.  Rotation speed : 20 r.p.m.  Rotary target can be lift up in vacuum, and other foil targets can be used in turn.

14. 13 Angular & energy dependence Ratio of data/calc. at the star configuration  We can not see the large anomaly in the backward region at 13MeV/A, which is different from the Köln data at 9.5MeV/A.  More experimental studies are needed to see the energy dependence of the anomaly. This work

15. 14 Summary To study the off-plane star anomaly, we performed the experiment of 1 H(d,pp) and 2 H(p,pp) breakup reactions at E/A = 13MeV at RCNP and KUTL.  Si-Li type SSDs were used for detecting 2 protons in coincidence.  Rotary target system allowed us to obtain high luminosity.  The differential cross sections for  = 120 ~ 180 deg (RCNP) and 0 ~ 75 deg (KUTL) were measured. From the comparison between the data and the theoretical predictions;  The data at 13MeV/A can be well reproduced by the calculations including the Coulomb effects, which is different from the data of Köln.  It is better to perform the experiment at E d = 19MeV at RCNP to confirm the large anomaly reported from Köln.
