Absolute cross section measurements for the reactions Ne20(d, n)Na21 g.s. and Ne20(d, n)Na21 (0.34 MeV)

Abstract Absolute cross sections for the reactions Ne 20 (d, n)Na 21 g.s. and Ne 20 (d, n)Na 21 (0.34 MeV) have been measured in the range of incident particle energies from 1.3 to 2.3 MeV. A phenomenological analysis has been applied to the total cross section for the Ne 20 (d, n)Na 21 (0.34 MeV) reaction to separate the direct interaction contribution from the resonant state formation. The direct interaction contribution turns out to be very small indicating that the predominant reaction mechanism is a resonant type process.
