Cross-section for proton–tritium scattering from 1.4 to 3.4MeV at the laboratory angle of 165°

Measurements of the elastic scattering cross sections for proton on T, 4He

“…The adopted energy step was 200 keV in the energy region of 1.2-3.4 MeV for the T(p, p)T reaction and 100 keV between 1.4 and 3.7 MeV for the He(p, p)He one. Comparisons of the current data with some of those available in literature [6,[11][12][13][14] are presented, including those from our previous works [4,7]. In Fig.…”

“…In both cases, an accurate knowledge of the elastic scattering cross sections for the incident beam interaction with the tritium or helium is required. In our previous work, the cross sections for the interaction of p with T in the energy range of 1.6-3.6 MeV and at an angle of 165° [4] has been measured, since very little data of interest from literature [5,6] exist in the energy range 1-3 MeV, and at larger scattering angles, for application of the elastic backscattering technique. Moreover, the interaction of p with He in almost the same energy range and for the same scattering angle [7] has been studied by employing a high heliumcontent titanium (Ti) target, prepared by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering [8].…”
