Abstract

We investigated the feasibility of quantum-correlation measurements in nuclear physics experiments. In the first approach, we measured spin correlations of singlet-spin (1S0) proton pairs, which were generated in 1H(d,2He) and 12C(d,2He) nuclear charge-exchange reactions. The experiment was optimized for a clean preparation of the 2He singlet state and offered a 2π detection geometry for both protons in the exit channel. Our results confirm the effectiveness of the setup for these studies, despite limitations of a small data sample recorded during the feasibility studies.
