Bibliography of experimental data
Eleven datasets in ten publications with experimental cross section data were identified in the literature in the considered energy range and are represented with uncertainties in Fig. All data. Data by Rattan et al. (1986) were deselected, due to too low values. The remaining datasets were used as input for a least-square Pade fit. The Pade functions with 9 parameters were fitted to 101 selected data points with a χ2=1.84 and covering the energy range up to 60 MeV as shown in Fig. Recommended. The uncertainty (including a 4% systematic uncertainty) ranges from 26% near the reaction threshold and decreases to about 8% around 40 MeV energy and increases back to 10% around 60 MeV.
