Differential cross-sections for nuclear reactions on Al and Si induced by deuterons at low energy (1–2MeV)

Study of selected differential cross-sections of the 28Si(d, p0, p1, p2, p3) reactions for NRA purposes

“…3(a)-(d). There is a fair agreement between the differential cross-section values for the p 2 and p 3 levels, and those reported in [3] without the use of any absorber, as shown in Fig. 3(c) and (d), respectively.…”

“…The energy values, after the proper correction according to the results of the machine calibration mentioned in the previous section, correspond to the half of the target's thickness, following SRIM 2008 calculations. The results from the present work are shown along with data from literature for the same levels [2,3]. The agreement is excellent (within errors) over the whole energy range studied.…”

“…The agreement is excellent (within errors) over the whole energy range studied. Due to the large energy step adopted in the present work and in [3], the strong fluctuations of the differential cross-section values are evident only in the study presented in [2].…”

“…In the case of 28 Si only two pioneer works exist [2,3] with differential cross-sections measured with different energy steps at 150°. Certain values can also be extracted from older references where angular distributions of the 28 Si(d, p) 29 Si reaction are presented [4].…”

Measurement of gamma-ray production cross sections for nuclear reactions 14N(d,pγ)15N and 28Si(d,pγ)29Si

“…Particle production cross sections of silicon reactions for analytical purposes were investigated extensively earlier [10,11,12], in contrast to gamma detection. Despite the lower gamma-ray production cross sections and higher detection limit, d-PIGE could be useful in some special applications, where the simultaneous determination of light elements is required.…”
