Inclusive(p,3He) reactions on59Co and197Au at incident energies of 120, 160, and 200 MeV

Abstract

Measurements of inclusive (p,{sup 3}He) reactions on {sup 59}Co and {sup 197}Au at incident energies of 120, 160, and 200 MeV are compared with calculations based on a statistical multistep direct reaction theory. The angular range extends from 10{degree} to 160{degree} and emission energies exceeding 30 MeV were studied. It is found that the multistep contributions are dominant for all but the highest outgoing energies. This is in qualitative agreement with previous results for the inclusive (p,{alpha}) reaction at the same incident energies and targets. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
