Elastic, inelastic, and 1n transfer cross sections for the B10+Sn120 reaction

Abstract

The $^{10}\mathrm{B}+^{120}\mathrm{Sn}$ reaction has been investigated at ${E}_{\mathrm{Lab}}=37.5$ MeV. The cross sections for different channels, such as the elastic scattering, the excitation of the ${2}^{+}$ and ${3}^{\ensuremath{-}}\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}^{120}\mathrm{Sn}$ states, the excitation of the ${1}^{+}$ state of $^{10}\mathrm{B}$, and the $1n$ pick-up transfer, have been measured. One-step distorted-wave Born approximation and coupled-reaction-channels calculations have been performed in the context of the double-folding S\~ao Paulo potential. The effect of coupling the inelastic and transfer states on the angular distributions is discussed in the paper. In general, the theoretical calculations within the coupled-reaction-channels formalism yield a satisfactory agreement with the corresponding experimental angular distributions.
