Measurement and evaluation of the 13C(p,p)13C cross section in the energy range 0.8-2.4Â MeV

We used a thin film method with Bayesian inference data analysis to determine the 13C(p,p)13C cross section in the energy range 0.8-2.43 MeV, at scattering angles 140° and 160°. The accuracy of the results was also determined, including all sources of error. The cross section determined at 140° was benchmarked at energies around the 1.462 MeV resonance. The new data presented were then used, together with previously existing data from the literature, to perform an evaluation of the 13C(p,p)13C cross section.
