Abstract
The total cross section for the (,) reaction has been obtained at four energies near 0.78 MeV from measurements of the differential cross sections for the outgoing protons at laboratory angles between 20° and 155°. The average value, 146±13 mb at an average deuteron energy of 0.781 MeV, is about 20% lower than the weighted mean of all previous absolute measurements. It is, however, in agreement with two other completely independent measurements, and the three experiments together provide a consistent (but lower) value for this important cross section.
