Abstract
The angular distribution of the long-range protons from the deuteron bombardment of has been investigated over the deuteron energy range from 1.0 to 2.2 Mev using a photographic technique. The excitation function has been measured from 0.55 to 2.95 Mev using a proportional counter. On the basis of a compound nucleus model, the fact that six terms are required to fit the observed distributions with a series of Legendre polynomials indicates the presence of overlapping levels of the compound nucleus in the region with both even and odd parities, and that both and deuterons enter into the reaction at these energies. There is, however, some evidence that the reaction proceeds in part by a stripping process with the transfer of a neutron with to the target nucleus. This stripping becomes relatively more important as the deuteron energy is increased. The excitation function shows evidence of broad, overlapping resonances.
