Abstract

Differential cross sections for (p, α) reactions at Ep = 38 MeV have been obtained for 9Be, 11B, 12C, 16O and 19F. Some angular distributions show a well-developed diffraction pattern, others do not. The results have been compared with PWBA calculations for four direct mechanisms (pick-up, knock-out, heavy-particle pick-up and heavy-particle knock-out). No single mechanism seems able to reproduce the pattern of any observed distribution for the whole angular range investigated.

    The human body is mainly composed of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and calcium nuclei, and the production cross section of positron emitters (10C, 11C, 13N, 14O, 15O, 38K, 38Ca, and 39Ca) generated between the three elements excluding hydrogen and incident proton nucleus is important to estimate the range and exposure dose distribution in the patient's body. The cross sections of 11C, 15O and 13N were measured at several proton energies [4–22]; however, those quantity and accuracy are insufficient yet. The cross sections of 10C, 14O, 38K and 39Ca were measured only at few points [11,23,24].
