If you check the boxes for the A.Simon data, and "quick plot" on the this page, then click retrieve, you will get a cross section plot for the reaction. The cross sections are in barns, and the proton energy is in MeV. Note that all proton fusion related cross sections happen at high energy, because until the advent of CF, no one was able to fuse protons with heavy nuclei by any other means than high kinetic energy. (And the CF method is still not understood, if it works at all.) Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
