Absolute cross sections and isomeric yield ratios of (d,p) reactions in Co 59 , Y 89 , Rh 103 , Pd 110 , Cd 114 , Cs 133 , Ta 181 , Re 187 , and Pt 196 have been determined between ~4 and ^15 MeV. The isomer ratios are found to increase gradually with bombarding energy from values at lower energies which are only slightly greater than the ratios for the production of the same isomeric pairs by the (n,y) reaction. The qualitative features of (d,p) isomer ratios are discussed. Isomer ratios have been calculated at 15 MeV for seven (d,p) reactions in even-even targets by using distorted-wave Born approximation to obtain the initial angular-momentum distributions and computing the effects of subsequent gamma-ray cascades leading to the observed isomeric states. Agreement with experiment of the order of 15-20% is achieved. The effects of various cascade treatments on the agreement of the calculated isomer ratios with experiment are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
