G. Giorginis et al., CROSS-SECTION OF THE B(ALPHA,P)C NUCLEAR-REACTION FOR ANALYTICAL APPLICATIONS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 118(1-4), 1996, pp. 224-227
Cross sections (cs) of the B-10(alpha,p(0))C-13, B-10(alpha,p(1))C-13
and B-11(alpha,p(0))C-14 reactions for NRA applications were measured
for alpha-particle energies between 4 and 5 MeV and a laboratory scatt
ering angle of 135 degrees and 7 MV Van de Graaff accelerator of IRMM
by irradiation of enriched boron-10 and natural boron targets. Absolut
e cs values were derived by using the simultaneously measured RBS spec
tra of the alpha-projectiles on the Ta backings of the boron samples.
The cs errors are less than 10%.
