This study investigates the nuclear reaction 7Li + 2H → 8Li + 1H, focusing on the angular distribution and cross section for 8Li production. Utilizing a 25 MeV laboratory setup, the research explores mechanisms such as compound nucleus formation and neutron pick-up, employing advanced detection techniques to analyze energy spectra and particle identification in emitted fragments. Key findings contribute to understanding reaction dynamics and nuclear structure, highlighting the significance of both entrance and exit channels in nuclear reactions.
