Calculation of theO16(d, p)O17Angular Distribution

Abstract

Results of calculations based on the Tobocman theory are presented for the angular distribution of the outgoing protons produced by the ${\mathrm{O}}^{16}(d, p){\mathrm{O}}^{17}$ stripping reaction in which the residual nucleus is left either in the ground state or in the first excited state, and for incident energies well below the Coulomb barrier. A variety of nuclear models are examined, including the optical model, and the theoretical distributions compared with experimental ones.
