Measurement of deuterons scattered from the 12C(p, d)11C reaction by using a double-sided silicon strip detector

We measured deuterons scattered from the 12C(p, d)11C reaction with a 45-MeV proton beam at the new beam line of the MC-50 cyclotron installed at the Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences (KIRAMS). Particle identification was performed with a ΔE-E telescope composed of a double-sided silicon strip detector (DSSD) and a single-area silicon strip detector (SSD). The excitation energies of 11C were measured at detection angles of 92.2 .deg. to 136.7 .deg. in the laboratory frame. The differential cross sections for the 12C(p, d)11C reaction were estimated for the ground state, the 2.00-MeV state, the 4.32-MeV state, and the 4.80-MeV state of 11C. We obtained a proton-beam energy resolution of 300 keV for the 45-MeV proton beam at the new beam line, which indicated the feasibility for charged-particle experiments using the cyclotron at KIRAMS.
