Measurements of the proton total reaction cross section for light nuclei between 20 and 48 MeV

Abstract

Measurements of proton total reaction cross sections for $^{9}\mathrm{Be}$, C, $^{19}\mathrm{F}$, $^{27}\mathrm{Al}$, and Si have been made in the energy range 20 to 48 MeV. These measurements were made using a variation of a standard attenuation technique. The cross sections are compared with various theoretical predictions.NUCLEAR REACTIONS $^{9}\mathrm{Be}$, C, $^{19}\mathrm{F}$, $^{27}\mathrm{Al}$, Si; $20 \mathrm{MeV} <T<48 \mathrm{MeV}$, between 8 and 14 measurements for each nucleus, measured: ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{R}$; natural targets.
