14N(p,a)11C


Bibliography of experimental data

 

 

Fourteen works with 15 with experimental cross-section data were identified in the literature for incident particle energies up to 35 MeV and are represented with uncertainties in Fig. All data. 8 papers were selected for further evaluation and the related data are indicated in Fig. Selected. The excluded datasets are commented below. The Pade functions with 37 parameters were fitted to 305 selected data points with a χ2=3.94 and covering the energy range up to 35 MeV as shown in Fig. Recommended. The uncertainties (including a 4% systematic uncertainty) are 100% near the reaction threshold, drop to 6.5% at around 18 MeV and increase steadily to 9% at 35 MeV.
