We measured deuteron-production double differential cross sections (DDXs) by 290<br />

MeV/u oxygen beams on carbon, aluminium and copper targets at forward angles. The<br />

deuteron energies were measured with the spectrometer which consisted of GSO(Ce)<br />

crystals and plastic scintillators. The measured DDXs were compared with the calculated<br />

ones with PHITS code. The simulation results generally agreed with the measured ones.<br />

The measured results will be useful as the benchmark of existing simulation codes and for<br />

the future improvements.<br />

1. Introduction<br />

Recently, heavy ion induced reactions are of great interest in the field of medicine and<br />

engineering. Light fragments such as hydrogen and helium produced from the reactions are<br />

especially important in the treatment planning of cancer therapy, the design calculation of<br />

heavy ion accelerator facilities and the dose estimation for manned space flights due to their<br />

long ranges in human bodies or constructional materials. Therefore the nuclear data on light<br />

fragments are eagerly needed.<br />

In addition, it has been known that there are differences between measured results and<br />

simulated ones with existing calculation codes such as PHITS code [1]. For this reason, the<br />

experimentally measured nuclear data will be useful as the benchmark of existing<br />

simulation codes and for the future improvements.<br />

In the present study, the double differential cross sections (DDXs) on deuteron production<br />

reactions are investigated for oxygen incidence upon carbon, aluminium and copper targets at
