The 9Be(p,p0)9Be, 9Be(p,d0)8Be, and 9Be(p,α0)6Li cross-sections for analytical purposes

The cross-sections for the 9Be(p,d0)8Be nuclear reaction and for 9Be(p,p0)9Be backscattering were measured at a laboratory scattering angle of 165° in the energy range from 400 to 4150 keV, the cross-section for the 9Be(p,α0)6Li nuclear reaction was determined in the energy range from 400 to 1300 keV. The cross-sections were determined using thin films. The absolute accuracies are about 4.4–8.6% for the backscattering, 4.6–24% for the 9Be(p,d0)8Be nuclear reaction, and 4.5–5% for the 9Be(p,α0)6Li nuclear reaction cross-section. The derived cross-section data were benchmarked in the energy range 1100–4100 keV by comparison to measured spectra from bulk beryllium. The cross-section data are presented in graphical and tabular forms.
