INCLUSIVE SPECTRA OF STRIPPING REACTIONS INDUCED BY HEAVY-IONS

The spectra of inclusive transfer reactions induced by heavy ions and leading to continuum final states show high-lying broad resonancelike structures superimposed on a large continuum. Recent experimental spectra for neutron stripping on targets in the lead region are analyzed by the Bonaccorso and Brink single-particle transfer model. The results of the calculation suggest that the structures ace due to the population of high-spin single-particle states which are unbound and mix with the underlying states giving rise to a broadening of the peak. The main characteristics of the spectra are reproduced. Moreover, an estimate of the elastic and inelastic breakup contributions to the inclusive spectra is given.
