The (d, 6Li) reaction on 24Mg, 26Mg and 28Si at 35 MeV

Abstract

Data for the (d, 6Li) reaction on targets of 24Mg, 26Mg and 28Si have been obtained at 35 MeV bombarding energy. Angular distributions were measured for low-lying states in the residual nuclei. Zero-range distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) calculations have been used to analyze the data. The DWBA calculations account for the shapes of the experimental distributions reasonably well. The observation of significant population of unnatural parity states implies, however, that other transfer mechanisms may be important. The experimental spectroscopic factors are in qualitative agreement with those obtained from SU(3) theory.
