Proton elastic scattering differential cross-section measurements of 45Sc

In the present study the differential cross sections of the 45Sc(p,p)45Sc reaction were measured. Two independent experiments were performed. At first a sandwiched thin ScBr3 target was used for beam energies ELAB = 2300-5500 keV (in steps of 25 and 50 keV) and for detector angles 140°, 160°, and 170°. Secondly a thick Sc2O3 sample was formed and irradiated for ELAB = 3100-5500 keV with a detector placed at 140°, to validate the results of the first measurement.
