Nuclear structure of /sup 26/Al studied by two-nucleon transfer reactions /sup 28/Si(d,. cap alpha. ) and /sup 24/Mg(/sup 3/He,p)
The differential cross sections for the reactions /sup 28/Si(d,..cap alpha..)/sup 26/Al and /sup 24/Mg(/sup 3/He,p)/sup 26/Al were measured at the incident energies of 33.0 and 27.5 MeV, respectively, in order to investigate the structure of /sup 26/Al in connection with the nuclei /sup 28/Si and /sup 24/Mg. The angular distributions and the relative magnitudes of the cross sections were analyzed by using the distorted-wave Born approximation theory of the two-nucleon transfer reactions. The shapes of the calculated angular distributions reproduced well the experimental data. The transferred angular momenta L extracted from the angular distributions were consistent with the spins and parities already known. A qualitative picture of the structure of the nucleus /sup 26/Al from the data of the relative transition strengths of the two-nucleon transfer reactions was attempted using two simple models of nuclear structure, the Nilsson model with pairing correlations and the simple pairing model of a spherical nucleus. In the former the final state was described by a single configuration of two Nilsson quasiparticles and in the latter, by a single configuration of two quasiparticles in a spherical basis. This Nilsson model showed that the two-nucleon transfer strengths for the low-lying states of /sup 26/Al supported the idea that there exist states with opposite signs of the deformation parameter in the low-lying states of /sup 26/Al. The simple pairing model predicted well the overall features of the two-nucleon transfer strengths. This success evolved from the assumption that the final states of /sup 26/Al were described separately for stripping to /sup 24/Mg and pickup from /sup 28/Si by using realistic values of the occupation number probabilities for the shell model orbitals of the respective nuclei. These facts suggest also the existence of states with different character in the /sup 26/Al nucleus.
