Accurate measurement of the 23Na(d,p)24Na cross section in the 1.7-20Â MeV energy range

The 23Na(d,p)24Na cross sections were measured in two complementary experiments using a cyclotron and a variant low-energy energy LINAC, effectively covering the 1.7-19.8 MeV energy range. The present results allow one to use the 23Na(d,p)24Na process as a standard monitoring cross section in future measurements of deuteron reactions.
