The differential cross sections of the first two proton groups of the 12C(3He,p)14N reaction were determined within the 3He energy range 1.34–2.86 MeV and for backward angles from 107o107o to 164o with 2o steps using two double sided silicon strip detectors. The results are presented in graphical form and they are also given as tables in the Appendix. Aiming to assist in the enrichment of the reaction database and the improvement of the differential cross section data quality, the determined cross sections were benchmarked with the measurement of thick target reaction yields from a pure glassy carbon target at two 3He energies, 2.0 and 2.7 MeV. Furthermore, the data were accompanied by R-Matrix theory calculations, allowing for cross section data interpolation with sufficient accuracy.
