Scattering and transfer reactions for 6, 7Li + 90, 91Zr

Abstract

Abstract Elastic scattering data have been measured for the 7Li + 90Zr, 6Li + 90Zr, and 6Li + 91Zr systems at E(Li) = 34 MeV. Inelastic scattering data for the 7Li + 90Zr and 6Li + 90Zr systems were also measured for the 2+(2.18 MeV) and 3−(2.75 MeV) states in 90Zr and the 1 2 − (0.48 MeV ) state in 7Li. Optical model analyses of the elastic scattering data and DWBA analyses for the states in 90Zr were performed. The deduced deformation lengths for the 2+ state agreed with those extracted in other studies but the deformation length for the 3− state was smaller. The 90Zr(7Li, 6Li)91Zr angular distributions were measured for the 1.21 and 2.03 MeV states and the 2.19 MeV doublet in 91Zr. Also, 90Zr(7Li, 6He)91Nb angular distributions were measured for the ground states, 0.10, 3.41 and 4.82 MeV states in 91Nb. The transitions well matched in angular momentum were described by finite-range DWBA calculations, while other transitions displayed the same phase problems seen with heavier ions. The extracted spectroscopic information was consistent with the results of other reaction studies. At the present energy, it was not possible to determine whether the l = 1 phase problem that occurs for heavy-ion single-nucleon transfer reactions on 2s-1d shell nuclei occurs in 91Zr also.
