Deuteron-nucleus total reaction cross sections up to 1 GeV

Abstract

Total reaction cross sections of deuteron, ${\sigma }_d^{\mathrm{R}}$, are calculated by a microscopic three-body reaction model. The reaction model has no free adjustable parameter and applicable to reactions at various deuteron incident energies $E_d$ and with both stable and unstable nuclei. The predicted ${\sigma }_d^{\mathrm{R}}$ are consistent with those evaluated by a phenomenological optical potential for $E_d\le 200$ MeV in which the potential has been parametrized. A simple formula of ${\sigma }_d^{\mathrm{R}}$ up to $E_d=1$ GeV, as a function of $E_d$, the target mass number $A$ and its atomic number $Z$, is given.
