Differential cross section measurements of the 12C(d,p1,2,3)13C reactions in the energy range E d,lab =900–2000keV for nuclear reaction analysis

Abstract: Absolute differential cross section measurements of the 12C(d,p1,2,3)13C reactions were performed in the projectile energy region E d,lab =900–2000keV (in steps of 25keV) and for detector angles between 145° and 170° (in steps of 5°) using as targets 99.9% purity self-supported natural carbon (98.9% 12C–1.1% 13C) foils of nominal thickness ca. 1×1018 at/cm2. The overall error in the absolute differential cross section measurements varied around 10–15% in most of the cases. The results, presented in both graphical and tabular forms, are compared with already published data. The strong influence of the resonance mechanism is presented and discussed.
