$sup 19$F(d,$alpha$$sub 0$)$sup 17$O and $sup 19$F(d,$alpha$$sub 1$)$sup 17$O reaction excitation function measurements between 2.34 and 14.45 MeV

The $sup 19$F(d,$alpha$$sub 0$)$sup 17$O and $sup 19$F(d,$alpha$$sub 1$)$sup 17$O reactions have been studied by measuring excitation functions in 30 keV steps over the energy range between 2.34 and 14.45 MeV deuteron energies. Cross-section data were collected simultaneously at laboratory angles of 70degree, 90degree, 120degree, 150degree, and 170degree. The measured excitation functions exhibit strong resonance structures superimposed upon a smoothly varying component. The widths of these resonances are on the order of 500 keV. The corresponding excitation energy of the compound nucleus $sup 21$Ne ranged between 19 and 25 MeV. A narrow region encompassing one of the strongest resonances was measured in smaller steps to look for finer structure. No evidence for fine structure greater than 10 keV ws observed. (AIP)
