TENSOR INTERACTION EFFECTS IN THE HE-4(H-2,GAMMA)LI-6 CAPTURE REACTION

The spin dependence of the He4(2H,)6Li capture reaction is studied in a deuteron-alpha-particle direct capture model. Nucleon-nucleon tensor interaction effects, manifest through the deuteron and Li6 internal D states and through the deuteron-alpha-particle tensor interaction, are included within the d cluster model. The entrance channel tensor force, calculated from the folding model, is shown to produce relatively minor effects on the calculated reaction tensor analyzing powers compared to those of the Li6 D state for center-of-mass energies of proposed experiments (10 MeV). © 1990 The American Physical Society.
