14N(d,n)15O


Bibliography of experimental data

 

 

Eight publications with experimental cross-section data were identified in the literature for incident particle energies up to 15 MeV and are represented with uncertainties in Fig. All data. Two additional references are not represented in the figure: Nonaka et al. (1957) contains only one data point for a partial cross section at 1.92 MeV while in Marion et al. (1955) only neutrons emitted in forward direction were measured and the derived cross sections (by normalization of lower energy values to Vera Ruiz et al. (1977)) are extremely high. The results of 4 studies were rejected and the reasons for their removal are indicated. The remaining four datasets were used as input for a least-squares Pade fit. The Pade functions with 8 parameters were fitted to 93 selected data points with a χ2=1.22 and covering the energy range up to 15 MeV as shown in Fig. Recommended. The uncertainties (including 4% systematic uncertainty) vary between 6% and 8% over the whole energy region.
