(p,d) reaction at 800 MeV

Abstract

The neutron pickup reaction (p,d) has been studied at a proton energy of 800 MeV on targets of $^{7}\mathrm{Li}$, $^{12}\mathrm{C}$, $^{13}\mathrm{C}$, $^{16}\mathrm{O}$, $^{25}\mathrm{Mg}$, $^{28}\mathrm{Si}$ and $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}$. States known to correspond to single-hole excitations are seen and in most cases the data are properly understood through distorted-wave Born approximation calculations. High-spin final states are prominent, and some are shown to be excited through multiple step processes. The strongest states seen in the data do not correspond to known levels.
