Measurement and Analysis of theZr90(d, p)Zr91Reaction between 3.5 and 5.5 MeV

Abstract

The reaction ${}_{}{}^{90}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Zr}(d, p){}_{}{}^{91}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Zr}$ is studied for the cases leading to ${}_{}{}^{91}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Zr}$ in the ground state ($Q=4.98\mathrm{}$ MeV) and the second ($Q=3.77\mathrm{}$ MeV), the sixth ($Q=2.91\mathrm{}$ MeV), and the eighth ($Q=2.42\mathrm{}$ MeV) excited states. Results are presented for the incident deuteron energies 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, and 5.5 MeV. At most energies there is a complete angular distribution ranging from 20° to 160° in steps of 10°. A distorted-wave Born-approximation analysis employing elastic-scattering parameters obtained from experiments in the region 11-16 MeV yielded good agreement with the angular shapes of the stripping data but not with their absolute magnitudes.
