Differential cross-section of¹²C(d, p) reaction at low deuteron energies

The excitation function and the differential cross-section of¹²C(d, p) reaction have been measured at low deuteron energies. The excitation functions have been measured at θ{symbol}=25, 35, 90 and 140 degrees for (160÷300)keV deuteron energy. The differential cross-sections have been measured for E _d=200 to 300 keV with 5% uncertainty at 13 angles covering the angular range from 25 to 160 degrees. At 200 and 220 keV deuteron energy, the angular distribution is strongly backward peaked. As the deuteron energy increases, the angular distribution starts peaking at forward angles. The excitation functions and differential cross-section data of¹²C(d, p) reaction are reported for the first time below 400 keV. This data could be used to test the existing DWBA theory for¹²C(d, p) reaction at very low deuteron energies.
