Total cross section results for deuterium electrodisintegration

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C, v. 13, no. 1, pp. 437-438
Theoretical total cross sections for deuterium electrodisintegration are presented as a function of incident electron energy. The cross section has been calculated using virtual photon theory with Partovi's photodisintegration calculation for E/subx/ > 10 MeV and effective range theory for E/subx/ < 10 MeV. Experimental electrodisintegration cross sections integrated over limited ranges of energies have been deduced from some previously reported measurements. Satisfactory agreement is found between experiment and theory. These results are of interest not only for checking virtual photon theory but also in estimating neutron fluxes arising from the $sup 2$H(e, n) reaction in Tokamak reactors. (AIP)
