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

In the present work, differential cross section values of the 16O(d,d0) reaction were obtained for Ed,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) × 1015 at/cm2. 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.
