Measurements of the elastic recoil cross-section for 1H(12C, 1H)12C

The elastic recoil cross section for 1H(12C, 1H)12C was determined at a recoil angle of 30° over an incident carbon energy range from 4.0 to 8.0 MeV. The thin solid film target Pd/TiHx/Si used for cross section measurement was prepared by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering. The measured cross-section data are compared with records available in literature and a similar trend over the energy range was shown. The total uncertainty in the present cross-section data is less than 7%.
