Six publications with
experimental cross-section data were identified in the literature or incident
particle energies up to 80 MeV and are represented with uncertainties in Fig. All data. No new datasets were added after the
previous update. The studies by Morand et al. (1970) and Takamatsu (1962) give
partial cross sections for different excited states that were summed in a
resulting value at one energy point in the review work of de Lassus St-Genies
and Tobailem (1972). The studies performed by Fenyvesi et al. (1997) and Nozaki
et al., on natNe targets reflect the cross sections for the natNe(d,x)18F
reaction even if in the manuscripts they are identified as 20Ne(d,α)18F.
The original data points of Guillaume (1976) were back shifted 1.1 MeV. The
results of 2 studies were rejected and the reasons for their removal are
indicated. The remaining four datasets were considered as input for a
least-squares Pade fit. The two highest energy points of Guillaume (1976) were
not taken into account and the energy range was limited to 30 MeV. The Pade
functions with 15 parameters were fitted to 91 selected data points with a
χ2=0.75 and covering the energy range up to 30 MeV as shown in Fig. Recommended. The uncertainties (including a 4%
systematic uncertainty) range between 7% near the reaction threshold, decrease
to below 6% between 5 and 25 MeV and reach 7.5% at the highest energy.
