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

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.…”

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

“…Because oxygen is the most abundant element in the earth's crust and because of the universal importance of oxides in earth sciences and materials science, accurate cross-sections for 16 O and 18 O nuclear reactions have been determined [1,8]. The second most abundant element is silicon, and although it is an intermediatemass element from the point of view of IBA, it also has nuclear reactions of analytical interest that have been determined [2,9] . Aluminium is the third most abundant element that is widely used in industry for its mechanical and electrical properties, decorative applications, and its resistance to environmental aggression especially after suitable electrochemical passivation.…”

Cross-section studies of deuteron reactions and application in light element ion beam analysis techniques

“…4.40), for energies above ~1800 keV, a clear correlation between the measured angles is observed where 170 o displays the highest cross section values, 120 o displays the lowest cross section values and in between the cross section values of the intermediate scattering angles are included. By examining different reaction channels in the same energy region, resonant-like behavior is also observed in the 28 Si(d,p0) 29 Si reaction channel with a general trend of an increase in the cross section as the deuteron energy increases, although a doubtful angular variation was observed [89]. For the 28 Si(d,p1) 29 Si reaction channel the situation seems similar.…”
