CHARGE-EXCHANGE COUPLING IN 98MO+P REACTIONS

The presence of isospin coupling in the incident channel is observed as anomalous behavior in Mo98+p excitation functions for proton, deuteron, and triton outgoing channels. Similarly shaped anomalies are simultaneously observed in several channels at threshold energies for the (p, n) reaction to the ground-state analog and to excited-state analogs of Mo98. The latter imply coupling through a deformation of the isospin-dependent potential. © 1969 The American Physical Society.
