We have analyzed the reaction pn+ - in a deuterium bubble-chamber experiment for incident antiproton momenta between 1.09 and 1.43 GeV/c. Data are analyzed in terms of the Veneziano model. The magnitudes of the spin-parity functions are determined independently in an analysis of the spin-state composition of the pn system. The amount of each spin-dependent Veneziano amplitude is contrained to these values in the construction of a Veneziano model. The model is found to be generally in good agreement with the data. This represents a more rigorous test of the Veneziano model than previously published works. © 1978 The American Physical Society.
