Measurement of the differential cross sections of natLi(d,d0) for EBS purposes

In the present work, the 6 , 7 Li(d,d 0 ) 6 , 7 Li elastic scattering differential cross sections were measured in the energy range E lab = 900 – 2000 keV for EBS purposes, using thin lithium targets, made by evaporating nat LiF and isotopically enriched 6 LiF powder on self-supporting carbon stripping foils, with an ultra-thin Au layer on top for charge normalization purposes. The experiment was carried out in deuteron beam energy steps of 5 to 30 keV, depending on the fine structure of each studied cross section, and for the laboratory scattering angles of 125˚, 140˚, 150˚, 160˚, and 170˚.
