Deuteron Stripping Reaction onMg25

Abstract

The ${\mathrm{Mg}}^{25}\mathrm{}(d,p)\mathrm{}{\mathrm{Mg}}^{26}$ reaction was studied at bombarding energies between 3.0 and 5.2 MeV. Angular distributions were measured for proton groups to the ground state and four excited states of ${\mathrm{Mg}}^{26}$. The elastic scattering in the entrance and exit channels was measured at the appropriate energies and optical-model parameters determined. Using the distorted-wave Born approximation, spectroscopic factors were extracted from the stripping data. Except for the ground state (pure $l=2\mathrm{}$), a mixture of $l$ values ($l=0\mathrm{} \mathrm{and} 2$) was required to fit the data.
