Abstract

Angular distributions of a ⁶Li(p, α)³He reaction were measured at six angles for 140 keV proton energy using nuclear track detectors (NTDs). The measurements were carried out over 60°-160° lab. angles in 20° increments using a scattering chamber of 80° beam line of the 350 kV accelerator. A semiconductor silicon surface barrier (SSB) detector was placed at +160° and was used as a monitor. The results have shown that the CR-39 detector has excellent capabilities to distinguish 1.4-2.7 MeV α +³He particles from the ⁶Li(p, α)³He reaction and 8-9.4 MeV α-particles from the ⁷Li(p, α)⁴He reaction through their track diameters. However, it was not possible to distinguish between the 2.3 MeV³He ions and the 1.7 MeV⁴He ions from the ⁶Li(p, α)³He reaction from their track diameter measurements, but it was possible to differentiate between the two, from the darker contrast of the ³He particles caused by its deeper tracks as compared to those of ⁴He.
