Abstract

Results are reported on the angular distributions of the neutrons corresponding to the ground state and first excited state in the reaction Li6(d, n)Be7 for deuteron energies of 2, 2.5 and 3 MeV. Comparisons are made of the total cross sections with the results of the preceding paper on Li6(d, p)Li7 for the corresponding states to test charge symmetry in nuclear reactions. This comparison shows agreement in the ratio of the yields to the ground and first excited states within the experimental accuracy. Comparison is also made of the differential cross sections with a DWBA calculation. The agreement with the observed results, although consistent with Δl = 1, is poor in the back direction. Some evidence is presented which suggests the importance of compound nucleus effects in the Li6(d, n) reaction.
