Reaction Cross Section for P-Li7
Reaction Cross Section for P-B11
At first glance it looks like the cross sections are close to the same.
IOW, the 3/5 Li7/B11 coulomb barrier potential ratio Z1*Z2*kq^2/d^2
approximates the 5/11 proton/nucleon ratio because of target atom inertia ?
Untangle that one for me. :-)
