Differential (p, p') and (p, d) Cross Sections of 89Y and 92Zr
Abstract
Differential cross sections for the (p, p) and (p, d) reactions on 89Y and 92Zr were measured using a 28.25-MeV proton beam at the 88-inchcyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Angular distributions were obtained for the ground state and several excited states of each isotope using silicon detector telescopes over angles 10 to 140 in the reaction plane. These data were obtained by fitting a Gaussian function to each peak in the energy spectra and integrating the number of counts under each peak. These cross sections will be included in nuclear structure models so that neutron and other particle reaction cross sections can be predicted for other isotopes, including eventually those farther from stability and those whose half-lives are too short to measure experimentally.
