Abstract
The available experimental data for the $^{20}\mathrm{Ne}+^{16}\mathrm{O}$ system in the energy range where the effect of $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-cluster transfer is well observed are reanalyzed using the cluster folding model. The cluster folding potential, which includes both real and imaginary terms, reproduces the data at forward angles and the inclusion of the $^{16}\mathrm{O}(^{20}\mathrm{Ne},^{16}\mathrm{O})^{20}\mathrm{Ne}$ elastic transfer process provides a satisfactory description of the backward angles. The spectroscopic factor for the $^{20}\mathrm{Ne}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}^{16}\mathrm{O}+\ensuremath{\alpha}$ overlap was extracted and compared with other values from the literature. The present results suggest that the ($^{20}\mathrm{Ne},^{16}\mathrm{O}$) reaction might be an alternative means of exploring the $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-particle structure of nuclei.
