Abstract
The , , , , and reactions have been studied, chiefly at bombarding energies below 3.8 MeV. All five of these reactions have potential applications in controlled thermonuclear systems. Total cross sections, believed to be accurate to 15%, which is sufficient for reactor design, have been determined in all cases. Residual activity was counted in the and studies while the yield of the 428-keV ray was measured in the investigation. Extensive angular distribution measurements were made for the and reactions and some discussion is given of the reaction mechanisms. Wherever possible, detailed comparisons are given to previously reported results.
