F. Strieder et al., LOSS OF LI-8 RECOIL NUCLEI IN LI-7(D,P)LI-8 AND IMPLICATIONS ON THE BE-7(P,GAMMA)B-8 CROSS-SECTION, The European Physical Journal. A: Hadrons and Nuclei, 3(1), 1998, pp. 1-3
The loss of Li-8 recoil nuclei in Li-7(d,p)Li-8 has been measured usin
g different backings and (LiF)-Li-7 target thicknesses as well as diff
erent deuteron energies. The results confirm essentially recent TRIM c
alculations. The losses are large (about 13%) for the combination of t
hin targets and heavy backings at E-d = 0.80 MeV and increase with dec
reasing deuteron energy. The implications on the cross sections for Li
-7(d,p)Li-8 and Be-7(p,gamma)B-8 are discussed.
