Abstract

Absolute differential cross section measurements of the $^{12}C(d,p_{1,2,3})^{13}C$ reaction were performed in the projectile energy region Ed,lab = 900-2000 keV (in steps of 25 keV) and for detector angles between 145° and 170° (in steps of 5°) using as targets 99.9% purity self-supported natural carbon (98.9% 12C – 1.1% 13C) foils of nominal thickness ca. 1×10$^{18}$ at/cm2. The overall error in the absolute differential cross section measurements varied between ~8-30%. The results, presented in both graphical and tabular form, are compared with already published data and an attempt is made to explain the occurring differences. The strong influence of the resonance mechanism is presented and discussed.
