Abstract

Differential cross sections and vector analyzing powers were measured for the 91Zr( d , d) 91Zr and 91Zr( d , p) 92Zr reactions at an incident deuteron energy of 12 MeV. Deuteron optical-model parameters were determined from an analysis of the elastic data. Comparison of the proton data to DWBA predictions showed that the DWBA does not quantitatively reproduce the measured analyzing powers, hence empirical analyzing power calibration curves were required to analyze the data. New spectroscopic information about the configurations of the excited states in 92Zr has been determined and is compared to the results of previous experiments as well as a shell-model calculation. The results of this experiment are in quantitative agreement with the predictions of the shell-model calculation for most of the transitions although some discrepancies do exist.
