Angular distributions for the N¹⁴(d,p)N¹⁵ reaction were investigated at nine deuteron energies ranging from 1.5 to 3.2 Mev. Measurements were carried out in the angular range from 0 to 165 degrees at intervals of 15 degrees. The results for the N¹⁴(d,p)N¹⁵ ground state reaction showed generally a forward peak, as was expected from deuteron stripping, and a considerable rise in backward directions. These experimertal data were analyzed with the heavy particle stripping theory and parameters adjusted to get a best fit were obtained. With the exception at fomard directions, the main feature of angular distributions was found te be very similar to that for the N¹⁴ (d,n)O¹⁵ ground state reaction, which is the mirror reaction, at the same deuteron energies. At forward directions proton yields from the N¹⁴(d,p)N¹⁵ reaction were substantially larger than neutron yields from the N¹⁴ (d n)O¹⁵ reaction. Angular distributions for the first excited doublet state reaction were found to be nearly isotropic, but a slight peak was observed at about 60 degrees similarly st all deuteron energies. Total cross sections for both state reactions were also estimated. Excitation functions for the N¹⁴ (d,p)N¹⁵ and N¹⁴(d,n)O¹⁵ ground state reactions showed similar behavior, having some resonance-like structures.
