Experimental precision (pd > nd ) Reliable pd calculation by A. Deltuva et al (2005) becomes available. Our strategy Systematic and precise experiments on pp - QFS cross section. Compare the data with the reliable pd calculation. Confirm whether pp - QFS anomaly is true or not. Motivation pp - QFS nn - QFS We measured pp - QFS cross sections at 9.5 & 13 MeV.

There are no pp - QFS anomaly at 7.5, 9.5, 13, and 19 MeV contrary to pd SS anomaly around 30 MeV. We guess No pp - QFS anomaly at 16 MeV, and also at higher incident energies.
