Cross Section for theAu197(d, p)Au198Reaction

Abstract
The cross section for the Au197(d, p)Au198 reaction was determined experimentally for incident deuterons in the energy range 5.6 to 28 MeV, using the stacked-foil technique. A theoretical confirmation was undertaken. The maximum in the cross section was found to lie between 14 and 15 MeV, with a value of 290 mb.
