The scattering of 29 MeV ³ He-particles by ¹ H, ² H, ³ He and ⁴ He nuclei

Abstract

Angular distributions for the scattering of 29 MeV 3 He-particles by light nuclei have been observed using a photographic plate method. Absolute differential cross-sections for elastic scattering, and for inelastic processes for 2 H, 3 He and 4 He nuclei, are given within the centre-of-mass angular range 20 to 150°. The elastic scattering distributions for the 1 H and 3 He nuclei have been compared with predictions based on resonating group theory.
