TLDR
In this paper, the effect of the finite size and ready polarizability of the deuteron on the probability of transmutations involving the capture of the neutron was considered, and it was shown that the Coulomb repulsion of the nucleus is less effective than for alpha-particles or protons.
Abstract
We consider the effect of the finite size and ready polarizability of the deuteron on the probability of transmutations involving the capture of the neutron. These have as a consequence that the Coulomb repulsion of the nucleus is less effective than for alpha-particles or protons, and that the corresponding transmutation functions increase less rapidly with deuteron energy. We treat the collision by the adiabatic approximation and obtain quantitative results for this energy dependence which are in good agreement with experiment.

Sum Rules in the Dispersion Theory of Nuclear Reactions

TL;DR: In this article, the dispersion theory is developed with an internal region $V$ whose boundary $S$ is quite close to the nuclear surface, and two types of quantities then occur: those like the derivative matrix $R$ which connect the values and derivatives of the wave function at $S$, and those like collision matrix $U$ which give the asymptotic behavior of wave function.

Oppenheimer-Phillips effect and electron screening in d+ d fusion reactions

TL;DR: In this paper, the cross sections of d(d, p)t at E≦10keV were analyzed using a beamforming detector and showed clear evidence for electron screening effects.

XLV. Angular distribution in (d, p) and (d. n) reactions

TL;DR: In this paper, the angular distribution of the particles emitted in (d, p) or (D, n) reactions is calculated, assuming a stripping process, by means of the Born approximation, and the result resembles in most respects that of more complicated calculations by S. T. Butler, but there are certain differences which have been, or may be done.

Accelerator testing of the general antiparticle spectrometer; a novel approach to indirect dark matter detection

TL;DR: In this article, a prototype general antiparticle spectrometer (GAPS) was used for indirect dark matter searches that exploits the antideuterons produced in neutralino-neutralino annihilations.
