Angular differential cross section measurement for 11B(p, α0)8Be reaction with proton energy of 2.5 MeV

Abstract

This report presents experimental differential cross section measurements at α_0-particles’ eight outgoing angles of 50°, 70°, 90°, 106°, 120°, 130°, 150°, and 160° from ¹¹B(p, α₀)⁸Be reaction induced by 2.5 MeV proton beam bombarding on a natural boron target. The proton beams were accelerated by the 5SDH-2 pelletron at the University of Science - Hanoi National University (HUS). A good agreement has been observed between the obtained results and those from the literature. The importance of the data in a widely angular range is evidenced for the precise determination of the total integrated cross section.
