Figure 2. Singles protons and deuterons spectra from the transfer reactions<br />

a) 232 Th( 3 He,p) 234 Pa (solid line) and b) 12 C( 3 He,p) 14 N (dashed line)<br />

In the last relation Ω f is the solid angle efficiency for fission fragment detection and it was<br />

determined from a calibrated 252 Cf source, placed in the same geometry.<br />

The consistency of the method and the reliability of our measurements were checked with the<br />

reaction 232 Th( 3 He,df) 233 Pa. Since this reaction had been studied in the past by Back et al. [2], their<br />

fission probability of 233 Pa was compared with the one obtained in the present work and an excellent<br />

agreement was found (Figure 3).<br />
