Absolute cross sections for three-body breakup reactions Li-6 (d, n He-3) He-4 and Li-6 (d, p H-3) He-4

Absolute cross sections have been obtained for the reactions /sup 6/Li(d,n/sup 3/He)/sup 4/He and /sup 6/Li(d,p/sup 3/H)/sup 4/He for deuteron energies from 100 to 800 keV. The energy spectra of particles from these reactions are continuums because of the three-body final state. Total cross sections as well as angular distributions have been obtained with accuracies of 10 to 17%. Comparisons of energy spectra are made to predictions of simple models.
