Analyzing power and yield measurements of the $^{13}$C(d,n$_{0})^{14}$N Reaction between 280-460 keV

One of the poorly understood reactions that may contribute to heavy element inhomogeneous nucleosynthesis is the $^{13}$C(d,n$_{0})^{14}$N reaction. To understand the dynamics of this reaction, we have measured the yield and vector analyzing power of the n$_{0}$ group in the deuteron energy range from 280 keV to 460 keV. Neutrons were produced by a deuterium beam from the atomic beam polarized ion source, accelerated through the TUNL mini tandem onto a thick and enriched $^{13}$C target. Eight organic liquid scintillator neutron detectors were placed at angles from 0\r{ } to 150\r{ }. Results for the angular distributions of the yield and analyzing power were extracted and will be shown.
