STUDY OF REACTION C12(D,P)C13 WITH WEAKLY-BOUND-PROJECTILE MODEL

Predictions of the weakly-bound-projectile model are compared with measured differential cross sections, polarization, and vector-analyzing power for the reactions C12(d, p)C13(g.s.) at deuteron energies between 7.0 and 26 MeV, and C12(d, p)C13*(3.09 MeV) between 10 and 15 MeV. All the measurements are accounted for without any compound-nucleus resonance effects. It is suggested that previous failures to fit such data with the distorted-wave Born approximation stem from its inadequate description of the stripping mechanism. © 1969 The American Physical Society.
