Differential cross sections for 7Li(3He,p0∼ 4)9Be, 7Li(3He,d0)8Be and 6Li (3He,p0)8Be from 1.2 to 3 MeV

Materials research for advances in fusion technologies will depend an analytical sensitivity to Li, but appropriate nuclear reaction cross-sections are very poorly known. Here we determined the differential cross-sections for 7Li(3He,p0?4)9Be, 7Li(3He, d0)8Be and 6Li(3He, p0)8Be from 1.2 to 3 MeV at a lab angle of 146?. All sources to the total combined standard uncertainty in the measurement were discussed in detail.

Automated summary

In this study, researchers determined the differential cross-sections for lithium nuclear reactions at different experimental conditions, highlighting the limited knowledge on appropriate nuclear reaction cross-sections. The article also discussed in detail all sources contributing to the total combined standard uncertainty in the measurement.
