ANGULAR DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE B$sup 11$(d,n)C$sup 12$* FIRST EXCITED STATE NEUTRONS

The angular distributions of the first excited state neutrons from the reaction B/sup 11/(d,n)C/sup 12/ have been measured at deuteron bombarding energies of 0.6 and 1.0 Mev, using a single stilbene crystal counter. The distributions are asymmetric about the 90 deg direction, showing an excess in the forward direction. The data are consistent with an analysis based on nuclear stripping theory. Total cross sections were obtained at 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 Mev. (auth)
