Abstract
A test is made of a theoretical prescription for calculating the energy-differential cross section for a stripping reaction A(3He, d)B* into the continuum when B* can decay into more than one channel. For given angular momentum of B*, this is given by - pi ImTaa (d2 sigma a/dEd Omega )DWBA, where Taa is a nuclear T-matrix element for p-A scattering at the appropriate energy and the DWBA cross section is calculated using a resonant proton wavefunction. The application here is to two d3/2 resonances appearing in 12C(3He,d)13N* spectra which have been subjected to detailed measurements by Fuchs et al. (1979). The energy dependence of the T-matrix element is taken from the analysis of p-12C scattering of a number of groups. The authors obtain quite good agreement in shape and magnitude. This work is an extension of a previous study of the 12C(d,p)13C* reaction by Huby and Kelvin (1975) in that decay to the 12C(4.43 MeV) state is possible.
