Analysis of low energy heavy ion multiparticle transfer reactions in terms of entrance and exit doorways

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

A projection operator method is developed for the analysis of low energy heavy ion multiparticle transfer reactions. Entrance doorways introduce structure which is transferred sequentially via reaction (or exit) doorways to the reaction channel of interest. The theory treats both gross and intermediate structure, and the coupling from entrance to exit doorways introduces additional spreading and rather narrow structure in the reaction cross section. Consistent with experiment, energy shifts of reaction channel resonances relative to each other and to the elastic are present. The theory is suggested as a means of studying, for example, /sup 12/C+/sup 12/C..-->../sup 20/Ne(+..cap alpha.. in the range of 10--30 MeV (c.m.) where the 0/sub 2//sup +/ state of /sup 12/C( would play an important role.
