The differential scattering cross section has been determined for protons scattered elastically from Mg 24 at a laboratory angle of 164°±5°. The targets consisted of thin Mg 24 F2 films evaporated onto thick graphite. Protons scattered elastically from Mg 24 were selected by a 90° magnetic analyzer and were counted by a proportional counter. At least nine anomalies occur in the cross section between 0.40 Mev and 3.95 Mev, indicating the excitation of nine levels of the compound nucleus, Al 25 . At several of the resonances, competing reaction cross sections have been shown to be relatively small.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
