Abstract

We use the zero-range post-form DWBA approximation to calculate deuteron elastic and nonelastic breakup cross sections and estimate the breakup-fusion cross section that could serve as a surrogate for a neutron-induced reaction cross section. We compare the angular momentum dependence of the breakup-fusion compound nucleus formation cross section with that of the corresponding neutron-induced cross section.

Highlights

Deuteron-induced reactions, in particular the (d, p) and (d, n) stripping reactions were crucial in the past in determining many aspects of shell structure and in validating the shell model of the nucleus

Competition between elastic and inelastic breakup, absorption of only a neutron or a proton and absorption of the deuteron must be taken into account to determine the formation or not of a compound nucleus

Summary

Introduction

Deuteron-induced reactions, in particular the (d, p) and (d, n) stripping reactions were crucial in the past in determining many aspects of shell structure and in validating the shell model of the nucleus. We use the zero-range post-form DWBA approximation to calculate deuteron elastic and nonelastic breakup cross sections and estimate the breakup-fusion cross section that could serve as a surrogate for a neutron-induced reaction cross section.
