Measurement of deuteron induced gamma-ray emission differential cross sections on natCl from 1.0 to 2.0MeV

In this research work, measured differential cross sections for gamma-ray emission from the nuclear reactions 35Cl(d,pγ1-0)36Cl (Eγ=788keV), 35Cl(d,pγ2-0)36Cl (Eγ=1165keV), 37Cl(d,pγ1-0)38Cl (Eγ=671keV) and 37Cl(d,pγ2-0)38Cl (Eγ=755keV) are presented. For these measurements a thin natural BaCl2 targ...

Description
Summary:In this research work, measured differential cross sections for gamma-ray emission from the nuclear reactions 35Cl(d,pγ1-0)36Cl (Eγ=788keV), 35Cl(d,pγ2-0)36Cl (Eγ=1165keV), 37Cl(d,pγ1-0)38Cl (Eγ=671keV) and 37Cl(d,pγ2-0)38Cl (Eγ=755keV) are presented. For these measurements a thin natural BaCl2 target evaporated onto a 50μm-thick Mo foil was used. The gamma-rays and backscattered deuterons were detected simultaneously. An HPGe detector placed at an angle of 90° with respect to the beam direction was employed to collect gamma-rays while an ion implanted Si detector placed at a scattering angle of 165° was used to detect backscattered deuterons. The validity of the obtained differential cross sections was verified through a thick target benchmarking experiment. The overall systematic uncertainty of cross section values was estimated to be ±10%.
