d+O16andN+O16systems with the resonating-group method

Abstract

The resonating-group method is used to study the $d+{}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ and $N+{}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ systems. A generator-coordinate technique is employed to derive the nonlocal interaction between the clusters. The result shows that, as expected, the calculation yields differential scattering cross sections and polarizations which agree rather well with experimental data. In particular, the scattering behavior at large angles is adequately described. Also, from this study, one obtains information concerning the structure of rotational bands in the compound nuclei ${}_{}{}^{18}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{F}$ and ${}_{}{}^{17}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$.
