When there exist many light elements in a sample or the sample is thick, a reliable (d,p) reaction analysis cannot be often obtained due to the interference of particle groups corresponding to different elements and even different energy levels of an element. Therefore, (d,pγ) coincidence technique is tried. By measuring a charged particle(proton) group in coincidence with its accompanying gamma rays, the background can be greatly suppressed and the interference can be effectively eliminated.
