26Mg(6Li

Abstract

Angular distributions of differential cross section and vector analyzing power have been measured for the $^{26}\mathrm{Mg}$${(}^{6}$Li\ensuremath{\rightarrow}${,}^{7}$Li${)}^{25}$Mg reaction at 60 MeV bombarding energy. Finite-range distorted-wave Born approximation calculations were found to reproduce much of the structure of the data, although the predictions were approximately 3\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} out of phase with the data. Finite-range coupled-channels Born approximation calculations including inelastic excitations in $^{6}\mathrm{Li}$ and $^{7}\mathrm{Li}$, using coupling schemes derived from elastic scattering analyses, modified the predictions only slightly and did not remove the phase discrepancy.
