Measurements of the proton total reaction cross section for light nuclei between 20 and 48 MeV

Measurements of proton total reaction cross sections for ⁹Be, C, ¹⁹F, ²⁷Al, and Si have been made in the energy range 20 to 48 MeV. These measurements were made using a variation of a standard attenuation technique. The cross sections are compared with various theoretical predictions.NUCLEAR REACTIONS ⁹Be, C, ¹⁹F, ²⁷Al, Si; 20 MeV <T<48 MeV, between 8 and 14 measurements for each nucleus, measured: σR; natural targets.
