Differential cross-section measurements for the 9Be(3He,3He0)9Be elastic scattering and the 9Be(3He,px)11B reactions

The differential cross sections of 9Be(3He,3He0)9Be elastic scattering and of the 9Be(3He,p0,1,2,3,4+5,6,7)11B reactions have been determined in the energy range from 1.6 to 6 MeV at six backward angles from 120° to 170°, with a step of 10°. The experiments were performed at the 4 MV Dynamitron Tandem Laboratory of the Central Unit for Ion Beams and Radionuclides of the Ruhr University Bochum in Germany. The obtained datasets have been validated through benchmarking experiments, at 8 beam energies, using a thick, high-purity, beryllium foil. The results of the present work are compared with existing ones from literature and any discrepancies observed are discussed.
