Title: Cluster representation of /sup 6/Li and the finite-range distorted-wave Born approximation analysis of /sup 6/Li-induced alpha transfer reactions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

With a view of examine the suitability of the various different forms of ..cap alpha..-d cluster representation of /sup 6/Li used in the literature based on different criteria, for the ..cap alpha..-transfer reaction analysis, finite range distorted-wave Born approximations calculations have been made in the present work for (/sup 6/Li,d) reactions with various forms of cluster representation of /sup 6/Li and they are compared with the angular distribution data on the targets /sup 26/Mg, /sup 27/Al, /sup 29/Si, and /sup 31/P, at a bombarding energy of 36 MeV. It is found that (a) the single node wave function T/sub alphad/ introduced by Kubo and Hirata with corresponding Woods-Saxon form of V/sub alphad/ is not found to fit the angular distribution data at all, (b) the zero node Eckart function form of T/sub alphad/ with the corresponding V/sub alphad/ with attractive and repulsive part is also not successful, and (c) the zero node wave function generated by a Woods-Saxon form of potential with a hard repulsive core of R/sub core/ = 1.25 fm introduced by Watson et al. is also unsatisfactory. However, the Watson form modified by reducing the hard core radius to R/sub core/ = 0.6 fm predicts angular distributions satisfactorily. These results are not affected by the different choices of optical model parameters.
