Differential cross-section measurements of the d + 19F reaction channels for NRA purposes

Differential cross-section measurements of the 19F(d,p0–1)20F and 19F(d,α0–3)17O reactions have been performed in the projectile energy region Ed,lab = 1800–3000 keV in steps of 25 keV and for detection angles 150° and 170° using thin LiF and CaF2 targets. To validate the obtained results, benchmarking measurements were performed, using a CaF2 pellet and a thick, mirror-polished BaF2 target at various beam energies. The results are also compared to data from literature, when available, and all the observed discrepancies are discussed.

► We measured differential cross sections of the 19F(d,p0–1)20F and 19F(d,α0–3)17O reactions.
► Measurements were performed for deuteron energies Elab = 1.8–3 MeV and for the detection angles of 150° and 170°.
► We validated the obtained data with benchmarking measurements.
