Direct reaction analysis of the [formula omitted] reaction

Abstract

Thirty-nine angular distributions of the 15 N( p, α 0) 12 C reaction over a 9 MeV range were analysed using a plane wave direct reaction theory incorporating pick-up and exchange pick-up (or heavy-particle stripping) coherently mixed (PWBAE theory). The results of this analysis indicate that the reaction proceeds predominantly by a direct reaction mechanism.
