Analysis of theB11(d, n)C12Reaction by Nuclear Stripping

Abstract

The ordinary deuteron stripping theory has been extended to include the effect of heavy-particle stripping by the antisymmetrization of the final-state neutron wave function. When one uses the Born approximation, this extension gives both the deuteron and heavy-particle stripping amplitudes, together with a positive interference term. Good qualitative agreement with experiment in the energy range 0.6-4.7 Mev is obtained using an interaction radius of 4.5×${10}^{-13\mathrm{}}$ cm. The ratio of the amplitudes of heavy-particle and deuteron stripping decreases below the Coulomb barrier, and is relatively constant above the Coulomb barrier.
