Disintegration ofLi6by Deuterons

Abstract

The cross sections of the ${\mathrm{Li}}^6(d,\alpha )\alpha$ and ${\mathrm{Li}}^6\mathrm{}(d,p)\mathrm{}{\mathrm{Li}}^7$, ${*\mathrm{L}\mathrm{i}}^7$ reactions have been measured up to energies of 1600 kev. Evidence of a resonance level in ${\mathrm{Be}}^8$ for 347 kev deuterons is presented. The angular distribution of the two proton groups has been observed at 400, 600, 1000, and 1400 kev. The complexity of the angular distribution increases with bombarding energy, requiring a $P_6$ term in the Legendre polynomial expansion at the highest bombarding energy.
