Abstract
Measurements of total cross sections for have been made for center-of-momentum energies between 80 keV and 1.1 MeV. A continuously recirculating differentially pumped gas target system was employed to minimize uncertainties in energy loss and straggling. A calorimetric device was used to integrate the beam current within the target gas. Proton angular distributions were measured at seven energies. The measured cross-section factor, , was fitted to a linear function of energy for keV: , where MeVb and b. The formula , with MeVb, b, and b Me gives a good representation of over the entire range of energies studied here.
