Low-energy cross sections for 6Li(d, α)4He and 6Li(d, p)7Li reactions

Deuteron inelastic scattering on6Li and7Li nuclei within the three-body cluster model *

“…Among the ion induced nuclear reactions in the thermonuclear reactor walls, the most interesting are the reactions that produce additional tritium recovery. These include the reaction in the 6 Li(d,t)p , proceeding through a compound 5 Li nucleus, and the 7 Li(d,t)d and 7 Li(d,t) 6 Li processes. An important feature of the deuteron induced reactions on Li nuclei is that they are mostly exothermal reactions, ranging from ( ) radiation capture to partial fragmentation of the target nucleus into three or more clusters.…”

“…More details were given in relation to the formation of charged particles -helium and hydrogen isotopes -in the course of the deuteron-Li reactions. Formation of two -particles was an active area of research in [2][3][4][5][6]. The total cross sections of the(d, p, or n) stripping reactions, accompanied by formation of both unstable 7 Be [2, 7, 8] and 8 Li [2, 9, 10] and stable 7 Li [2,3] nuclei, were measured.…”
