An Investigation of the Protons, Deuterons and Tritons from the Bombardment of⁹Be with 5.7 MeV³He

Abstract

A thin beryllium target has been bombarded by 5.7 MeV 3He particles and the charged reaction products analysed with a high precision broad-range magnetic spectrograph. Angular distributions of nine proton groups, four deuteron groups and a single triton group have been measured. Most angular distributions exhibit strong forward maxima suggesting that the reactions, at least in part, proceed via a direct process.
