Energy spectra and differential cross sections have been obtained for the charge exchange reaction ( H, He) on targets of Si and Mg at an incident energy of 36 MeV. Previously unobserved energy levels of Al and Na are reported and compared to shell model predictions. Microscopic form factors based on the M3Y effective nucleon-nucleon interaction are used in distorted-wave Born approximation codes to fit the data. The sensitivity of the model to input parameters is discussed and some spin assignments made. Coupled channels calculations are performed to fit the two-step contributions to the data via sequential one-nucleon transfers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
