Differential cross section measurement of the natO(d,d0) reaction at energies and angles relevant to EBS

Abstract In the present work, differential cross section values of the 16 O(d,d 0 ) reaction were obtained for E d,lab  = 900–2000 keV, at four scattering angles, namely at 90 ° , 135°, 150° and 165° using a thin SiO target having a thickness of (910 ± 36) × 10 15  at/cm 2 . The cross section values were determined with an energy step of ∼10 keV while, the detailed measurements were carried out with an energy step of ∼5 keV around the resonance peaks. The results were compared with those of the previous studies.
