Phys. Rev. 75, 1154–1160 (1949)Low Energy Cross Section of the D-T Reaction and Angular Distribution of the Alpha-Particles EmittedReceived 23 December 1948; published in the issue dated April 1949 The thick-target yield of the reaction T+D→α+n+17.6 MeV has been measured, using a heavy-ice target, and observations have been made on the angular distribution of the α-particles. Experiments have been conducted in the region 15-kev to 125-kev incident triton energy. Within this range the angular distribution appears to be isotropic in the center-of-gravity system. The cross section for the reaction as a function of energy has been evaluated from the thick-target yield measurements. It appears to rise more rapidly with energy than is required by a simple Gamow function. © 1949 The American Physical Society URL:
