A detailed study of the 12C(d, p0)13C reaction at detector angles between 135° and 170°, for the energy range Ed, lab = 900–2000 keV

The differential cross-sections of the 12C(d, p0)13C reaction (applied to the determination of the depth distribution of carbon in near-surface layers of materials) were determined in the projectile energy region Ed, lab = 900–2000 keV (in steps of 25 keV) and for detector angles between 135° and 170° (in steps of 5°) using as targets 99.9% purity self-supported natural carbon (98.9% 12C–1.1% 13C) foils of nominal thickness ca. 1 × 1018 at/cm2. The overall error in the absolute differential cross-section measurements varied between ∼6% and 22%. The results were compared with already published data and the occurring differences were explained.
