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 --> d pi(+) reaction at 1930.477 MeV/c incident beam momentum, the forward going pions (theta(c.m.) = 0 degrees) and the backward going deuterons (theta(c.m.) = 180 degrees) have the same laboratory momentum. Such coincident pion-deuteron events are detected in the focal plane of the magnetic spectrometer BIG KARL located at theta(lab) = 0 degrees. Using the nearly linear dependence of the difference between the measured 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 x 10(-5).
