A Detailed Study of the 12C(d,p0)13C Reaction at Detector Angles between 135 ° and 170 °, for the Energy Range Ed,lab = 900-2000 keV

Abstract The differential cross-sections of the 12 C(d, p 0 ) 13 C reaction (applied to the determination of the depth distribution of carbon in near-surface layers of materials) were determined in the projectile energy region E d, lab  = 900–2000 keV (in steps of 25 keV) and for detector angles between 135° and 170° (in steps of 5°) using as targets 99.9% purity self-supported natural carbon (98.9% 12 C–1.1% 13 C) foils of nominal thickness ca. 1 × 10 18  at/cm 2 . The overall error in the absolute differential cross-section measurements varied between ∼6% and 22%. The results were compared with already published data and the occurring differences were explained.
