CHAVEZ, E. et al. Simultaneous measurement of the (d,d) and (d,p) resonant reactions using thick deuterated polyethylene targets. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2004, vol.50, n.6, pp.639-642. ISSN 0035-001X.

The thick target technique is extended here to study reactions induced by deuterons. Deuterated target production and characterization is reviewed in detail. The experimental setup used in a previous work, to study proton induced resonances, is complemented here with an additional thin transmission detector for standard particle identification with the E-ΔE technique. Through the measurement of the excitation functions of the ²H(¹²C,d) and ²H(¹²C,p) reactions, resonant states in ¹⁴N are studied. Using known energies and widths for resonances in the relevant energy range, good fits were obtained with R-matrix calculations.

Keywords : (deuterated) target preparation; elastic recoil analysis; resonant reactions.
