Angular Distribution of Protons in theN14(dp)N15Reaction

The Yale cyclotron was used to investigate the angular distributions of protons emitted in the reaction ${\mathrm{N}}^{14}\mathrm{}\left(\mathrm{dp}\right)\mathrm{}{\mathrm{N}}^{15}$ employing bombarding energies between 1.5 Mev and 3.0 Mev. Both the ground state and first excited state protons were studied. Over the energy range used, the protons emitted in the formation of the ground state are found to have a slightly higher yield in the forward direction while those emitted in the formation of the first excited state are essentially spherically symmetric. Neither distribution shows marked variation with energy.
