Nuclear Cross Sections for Light Ions on 6Li

We review our measurements of total and differential cross sections for protons, deuterons and 3He incident on 6Li. These are the reactions which are important for evaluating a fusion reactor based on burning 6Li. Several of these reactions had not previously been measured, and among those that had there were large discrepancies in some cases. We employed several checks in our measurements to verify that the errors (including systematic errors) were 10 to 20 percent.
