The thick-target yield of the ^(9)Be(d,α0)7Li and ^(9)Be(d,α1)7Li*reactions has been first directly measured over deuteron energies from 66 to 94 keV.The obtained S(Ei)ofα0 andα1 have similar trends calculated by ...The thick-target yield of the ^(9)Be(d,α0)7Li and ^(9)Be(d,α1)7Li*reactions has been first directly measured over deuteron energies from 66 to 94 keV.The obtained S(Ei)ofα0 andα1 have similar trends calculated by the thin-target yield,consistent with Yan’s report within the errors.Furthermore,the parametric expression of S(E)was obtained to calculate the theoretical thick target yield,and it roughly agrees with the experimental thick target yield.展开更多
