Abstract
We present a method to determine precisely the absolute momentum of the external proton beam from the Julich Cooler Synchrotron COSY near 1930 MeV/c. In the pp to d pi /sup +/ reaction at 1930.477 M V/c incident beam momentum, the forward going pions ( theta /sub c.m./=0 degrees ) and the backward going deuterons ( theta /sub c.m./=180 degrees ) have the same laboratory momentum. Such coinciden pion-deuteron events are detected in the focal plane of the magnetic spectrometer BIG KARL located at theta /sub lab/=0 degrees . Using the nearly linear dependence of the difference between the me sured pion and deuteron momenta as a function of the proton beam momentum, the absolute momentum of the external proton beam from COSY near 1930 MeV/c was determined with a precision of 5.2*10/sup - /.
