Selective Orbital Angular Momentum Transfer in ( He3 , t ) Reactions

Abstract

Angular distributions previously found to be characteristic of the spin change for (${}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}$, $t$) transitions in even-mass $f_{\frac{7}{2}}$-shell nuclei are found to characterize transitions for a number of even- and odd-mass nuclei in the $s-d$ shell. It appears that this may be due to certain strong selectivities in the orbital angular momentum transfer.
