Abstract
An experiment has been accomplished which gives information on the reaction mechanism of the (Zr94,96+d)-reactions. Total cross sections and excitation functions up to 11,8 MeV have been measured for the reactions Zr94 (d, p), Zr94 (d, n), Zr96(d, p), Zr96(d, n) and Zr96(d, 2n) by the activation method. The results are compared with cross sections calculated according to the statistical theory of nuclear reactions. It is shown that the (d, p) -reactions proceed almost completely by the stripping-mechanism. The (d, n)- and (d, 2n)-excitation functions on the other hand are in good agreement with the predictions of the statistical theory and one can conclude that the compound nucleus mechanism is the dominating process.
