✦ Synopsis
A simple reaction cross-section model has been obtained. It consists of hard spheres where the mass of the products has been introduced via angular momentum conservation. For exothermic reactions the cross section shows a maximum, providing that a threshold energy is present. The model has been applied to the alkali-atom-alkyloxide reactions, giving a simple understanding of the systematic trend of the cross section and the energy dependence of its maximum.

The absolute cross sections for (t, d) and (t, p) reactions are calculated using a simple wave function to describe the motion of the nucleons in the triton. In both cases we obtain reasonable agreement with the experimental data.
