New microscopic analysis for 15N(d,p)16N neutron transfer reaction at 15 MeV

Abstract

Inspired by the prevalent [Formula: see text] cluster structure of deuterons, which appears at an excitation energy of 2.225[Formula: see text]MeV, the recently measured angular distributions (ADs) for [Formula: see text]N([Formula: see text],[Formula: see text]N and [Formula: see text]N([Formula: see text],[Formula: see text]N systems at an energy of 15[Formula: see text]MeV X. Y. Li et al., [Phys. Rev. C 106, (2022) 025807] are microscopically analyzed using the continuum discretized coupled channel (CDCC) method. The extracted [Formula: see text] potential, considered as the coherent sum of cluster folding and dynamical polarization potentials, both derived from the CDCC computations, was then employed to investigate the [Formula: see text]N([Formula: see text],[Formula: see text]N neutron transfer reaction leading to the (2−, 0.0[Formula: see text]MeV), (0−, 0.12[Formula: see text]MeV), (3−, 0.298[Formula: see text]MeV), and (1−, 0.397[Formula: see text]MeV) [Formula: see text]N states. Since extracting reliable information on spectroscopic factors (SFs) is highly dependent on the interaction potential, the extracted [Formula: see text] was employed to get such information. The investigation gives evidence for the applicability of the [Formula: see text] in describing the elastic scattering and the neutron transfer ADs data. The extracted SFs for the [Formula: see text]N states under consideration are consistent with those that have been reported before.
