A deuteron of velocity u collides with another deuteron initially at rest. The collision results in the production of a proton and a triton (3H), the former moving at an angle 45◦ with the direction of incidence. Assuming that this re-arrangement collision may be approximated to an elastic collision (quasiscattering), calculate the speed and direction of triton in the Lab and CM system.
