Abstract

Deuteron-induced reactions on Li6 are important for nuclear structure studies and nuclear applications. A new experimental effort was dedicated to improve incomplete partial cross sections and the angular distribution information for d+Li6 reactions and to address the inconsistencies between various R-matrix evaluations of the Be8 system. The new measurements were performed over a deuteron energy range of 1.8 to 10 MeV with an angular distribution coverage of 20∘-170∘ for outgoing particles. The experiment simultaneously measured neutrons, charged particles, and γ rays from the various exit channels of the d+Li6 reaction. The cross sections for open reaction channels measured simultaneously are presented. In addition, results for the Li6(d,n)Be7 total cross section using the activation method are also presented.
