Triton Production Cross Section in Interaction of keV Deuterons with ¹³C Nucleus

Abstract

Triton production cross section has been measured in interaction of 200-350 keV deuteron with ¹³C nuclei. In this study excitation functions of ¹³C(d, t)^l2C reaction have been measured at eight angles in 10 keV energy steps over 200-350 keV deuteron energy range while angular distributions of ¹³C(d, t)¹²C reaction were measured at 200, 250, 270, 290, 310, 330 and 350 keV deuteron energies. The angular distributions of ¹³C(d, t)¹²C reaction are forward- peaked and are in disagreement with shape of previously reported data of ^l3C(d, t)¹²C reaction at 410 keV deuteron energy. On the contrary the shape of angular distribution measured in this study has a better agreement with the shape of angular distribution of ¹³C(d, t)¹²C reaction at 410 keV deuteron calculated using zero-range Distorted Wave Bom Approximation (DWBA) model.
