Studies of (d, d) and (d, p) reactions with carbon isotopes at low bombarding energies

Abstract The absolute cross sections for scattering of 4 to 6 MeV deuterons from 12 C and 13 C have been measured. An optical-model analysis of these data has been performed, and the results obtained applied to a DWBA analysis of 13 C(d, p) 14 C data obtained in the present experiment and elsewhere. An attempt has also been made to allow for a compound nucleus contribution to the cross section.
