Abstract
The shape of the mass spectrum of the pp system produced near the threshold of the reaction pn→pp π − at initial proton momentum p lab≃2 GeV/s is discussed. It is shown that the shape of the spectrum becomes universal when the diproton system is produced with a large momentum transfer. All effects of the Coulomb and strong interactions in the final state are taken into account exactly for the model “Coulomb+separable Yamaguchi potential.” The solution presented for the amplitude of the reaction gives a good description of the experimentally observed shape of the spectrum near the peak (χ 2/d.f.=0.654).
