Absolute cross sections and excitation functions for some (d,p) and (d,2n) reactions have been measured by activation and stacked-foil techniques. The cross sections for (d,p) reactions seem to indicate a direct mechanism, although there seems to be some compound nucleus admixture above the Coulomb barrier. A striking result is the great difference (a factor 3.5) between the (d,p) cross sections on the two Cu isotopes. This result is unexplained and requires confirmation. The (d,2n) reaction proceeds via compound-nucleus formation but the theoretical excitation functions, calculated on the basis of compound-nucleus formation followed by evaporation of particles, are not in agreement with the experimental ones. The isomeric ratio of the Zn 69 isomers is also discussed.
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.
