Investigation of the 13C(d,α)11B reaction mechanism at Ed = 15.3 MeV
The differential cross section of the 13C(d, α)11B reaction at Ed = 15.3 MeV with the formation of 11B nucleus in the ground and three low-lying excited states have been measured. The experimental data are compared with the results of calculations under the assumption of different reaction mechanisms: deuteron pick-up, 9Be-cluster exchange, two-step consecutive cluster transfer, and compound nucleus formation.
