Abstract
Reactions initiated by + have been studied at six bombarding energies between 3.78 and 5.95 MeV. A system was used for particle detection and identification, and an on-line computer was utilized for pulse-height analysis, storage, and data analysis. Differential and total cross sections were obtained for protons leading to the 0.0, 0.95, 1.67, 2.62-2.72, and 3.39-MeV levels of ; deuterons leading to the 0.0, 2.14, 4.46, 5.03, 6.76-6.81, and 7.30-MeV levels of ; tritons leading to the 0.0 and 0.717-MeV levels; and alphas leading to the ground state. The dominant reaction process appears to be the transfer of an particle, as evidenced by the angular distributions and total cross sections for and levels. In all cases, the total cross sections are generally smoothly increasing over the observed energy range with no evidence for structure. The proton cross sections have the lowest magnitude of the particles observed here, and a compound-nucleus process seems most likely for those groups.
