Abstract
The angular distributions of deuterons from the 6Li(α, d) 8Be reaction corresponding to the 0 + ground state and the 2.9 MeV (2 +) state in 8Be have been measured at E α = 17.3, 23.3 and 25.1 MeV. The excitation functions for this reaction have been measured at seven emission angles in the region from 12 up to 25 MeV. The experimental angular distributions are compared with theoretical predictions obtained using DWBA stripping calculations and the plane wave approximation (PWA) for various direct processes. It is shown that the experimental angular distributions can be described throughout the angular region using the simple mechanisms associated with the break-up of the 6Li target nuc clusters and heavy-particle stripping. The interference of these processes is taken into account.
