Energy dependence of deuteron scattering by magnesium

The angular distributions of elastic and inelastic (Q = -1. 37 MeV) deuteron scattering from Mg have been measured at 8. 65, 9.97, 10,87 and 11. 80 MeV in 5$^{0}$ -steps. These results as well as those from other authors have been discussed in terms of a diffraction scattering model. In the range of deuteron-energies from 8 - 22 MeV the interaction radii deduced from elastic data decrease slightly with increasing energy. The interaction radii from the analysis of the inelastic scattering data do not agree in all cases studied with the corresponding radii from elastic data. The deformation parameter for Mg$^{24}$ was found to be $\vert$$\beta$$_{2}$$\vert$ =0.22.Tables of all inelastic 11.8 MeV deuteron scattering data obtained in our laboratory are presented in the appendix
