Abstract
Proceeding as in our earlier analysis of elastic scattering, but with a form for the S matrix appropriate for transfer, peaked at the critical value Ie and with width parameter .d, it is shown how to analyse the angular distribution of transfer reactions of heavy ions to obtain.d. The effect of the nuclear phases is found not to be of such fundamental importance as in elastic scattering. Analysis of theexperimental data reveals an increase of.d with nuclear size especially at low energies, but an increase of nuclear penetration for transfer collisions of the lightest nuclei. The circumstances in which strong coupling might occur between elastic scattering and transfer are examined.
