Abstract
The nuclear reaction has been studied for deuteron energies from 10 kev up to 1732 kev. The yield curve exhibits a maximum at a deuteron energy of 109 kev, where the total cross section is 5.1±0.1 × . The experimental data accurately fit a single level Briet-Wigner resonance curve for deuteron energies below 500 kev. Above this energy the experimental cross section is larger than predicted by a single level in the compound nucleus.
