Angular distributions of the 15 N+ 12 C elastic and inelastic scattering were measured at E lab (15 N) = 81 MeV to study the nuclear-nuclear interactions and possible transfer contributions to the scattering. The data were analyzed with the coupled-reaction-channels (CRC) method using the 15 N+ 12 C optical potential of Woods-Saxon shape. The elastic and inelastic scattering as well as the most obvious one-and two-step transfer reactions were included in the channel-coupling scheme. The 15 N+ 12 C optical potential and deformation parameters of 15 N were deduced. The transfer reaction contributions to the 15 N+ 12 C elastic and inelastic scattering channels were estimated. The 15 N+ 12 C elastic scattering at 81 MeV was compared with the 14 N+ 12 C elastic scattering of 14 N beam energy 78 MeV.
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.
