Abstract

Absolute cross sections and excitation functions between 2 and 12 MeV have been measured for the following reactions: 52Cr(d, 2n) 52mMn, 21 min, 52Cr(d, 2n) 52Mn, 5.6 d, 50Cr(d, n) 51Mn, 45 min. This was done by activation and stacked foil techniques. The experimental results show that the (d, 2n) reactions proceed via the compound nucleus mechanism whereas the (d, n) excitation function shows a mixture of compound nucleus and direct reaction mechanism. Measurements of the cross section ratio σ 21 min σ 5.6 d show that the ground state (5.6 d) is preferentially formed at low deuteron energies.
