Abstract
Deuteron bombardment of stacked gold foil permits simultaneous determination of the cross sections for the competing (d,p) and (d,2n) reactions. The student laboratory work begins with the bombarded foils and consists primarily of analyzing the gamma radiation from Au198 and Hg197m by the use of a sodium iodide detector and single-channel analyzer. The experiment affords the student direct contact with nuclear reactions, and its successful completion requires the student to draw upon a variety of fundamental principles and experimental techniques in nuclear physics.
