Lithium elastic and inelastic scattering and lithium-induced single nucleon transfer reactions

Abstract

Absolute cross sections and angular distributions for lithium elastic and inelastic scattering as well as for lithium induced single nucleon transfer reactions have been measured at 34 and 36 Me V for several p and s-d shell nuclei. The elastic and inelastic scattering data have been analyzed in terms of the optical model assuming deformed targets and projectiles. Optical model potential parameters and deformation parameters have been deduced. The transfer data have been analyzed by finite range DWBA calculations using known spectroscopic factors. The sensitivity to the choice of potential parameter families is discussed. In some cases the best possible agreement with the transfer data has been obtained by selecting the distorting potentials for incident and exit channel corresponding to a potential sum rule for the real part of the potential. The elastic and inelastic scattering data are well described by the optical model. The transfer data are also reasonably well explained, although not in all cases as satisfactorily.
