Deuteron Stripping Cross Section from ¹³C at Deuteron Energies below 350 keV

Cross sections for deuteron stripping from the ¹³C nucleus have been measured for 200-350 keV deuterons. The excitation functions of the ¹³C(d, p)¹⁴C reaction were measured at 30°, 66°, 110°, 128°, 146° and 164°, while the angular distributions of the ¹³C(d, p)¹⁴C reaction were measured at deuteron energies of 200, 230, 250, 270, 290, 310, 335 and 350 keV. The excitation functions of the ¹³C(d, p)¹⁴C reaction show a smooth variation of the cross section with energy. The angular distributions of the ¹³C(d, p)¹⁴C reaction are highly asymmetric and are forward-peaked. The asymmetric shape of the angular distribution of the ¹³C(d, p)¹⁴C reaction indicates a dominating contribution from the direct reaction in this channel. The trend in the angular distributions of the ¹³C(d, p)¹⁴C reaction is consistent with published results at higher deuteron energies (Putt 1971).
