A Detailed Study of the 12C(d,p0)13C Reaction at Detector Angles between 135 ° and 170 °, for the Energy Range Ed,lab = 900-2000 keV

Abstract

The differential cross sections of the 12C(d,po)13C reaction applied to the determination of the depth distribution of carbon in near-surface layers of materials were determined in the projectile energy region F,dtiab — 900-2000 keV (in steps of 25 keV) and for detector angles between 135 ° and 170 ° (in steps of 5 ° ) using as targets 99.9% purity self-supported natural carbon (98.9% 12C - 1.1% 13C) foils of nominal thickness ca. lxlO18 at/cm2. The overall error in the absolute differential cross section measurements varied between ~6-22%. The results were compared with already published data and the explanation of the occurring differences was attempted.

27 Al(d,alpha) and 27 Al(d,p) Nuclear Reaction Cross Sections at Ed<2MeV Measured at Three Backward Scattering Angles Related to NRA

“…Knowledge of the cross-sections for the cases of isolated peaks is already useful for designing experiments to determine elemental contents of thin films. Many such cross-sections, for example 16 O(d,p0) 17 O, 16 O(d,p1) 17 O, 12 C(d,p0), 14 N(d,α0), have been carefully measured at energy and angular ranges of analytical interest [1][2][3][4]. It is sometimes possible to analyse several light elements simultaneously by NRA.…”

“…In this work, we have determined the cross-sections for the 27 Al (d,p0+1,2+3,4,5+6,9,10,11,12) and 27 Al(d, α0,1,2, 3,4) reactions at an energy below 2 MeV and at 150° scattering angle in two completely independent measurements in two different laboratories: the Van De Graaff Lab in Tehran (VDGT) and the SAFIR platform of the Institut des NanoSciences de Paris (INSP). The 27 Al(d,p) and (d,α) cross-sections were also determined at 135° and 165° at VDGT.…”
