Measurement of 7Be+p elastic and inelastic scattering*

We have measured $^{7}$Be+p elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF) at ORNL. Beams of isotopically pure $^{7}$Be bombarded thin (100 $\mu$g/cm$^{2}$) polypropylene targets; scattered protons were detected in an array of silicon strip detectors. Cross sections were measured at 17 bombarding energies ranging from E$_{cm}$=0.5 to 3.4 MeV. The data at each energy were normalized using $^{7}$Be+Au elastic scattering from a combined target of polypropylene and gold.
