/sup 9/Be(p,p. cap alpha. ) /sup 5/He cluster knockout reaction with 150 MeV polarized protons

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

The (p,p..cap alpha..) cluster knockout reaction on /sup 9/Be was investigated using polarized incident protons. Coincident data for eight quasifree angle pairs were obtained at a bombarding energy of 150 MeV. Both differential cross sections and analyzing powers were measured for the energy-sharing distribution. Distorted wave impulse approximation calculations indicate that the reaction is dominated by a quasifree knockout process, and that a D-state component of the cluster-core wave function is important for larger momentum transfer. Extracted absolute spectroscopic factors for both S- and D-state knockout are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. The analyzing power follows the trend of free p-/sup 4/He scattering and agrees with the distorted wave impulse approximation calculation reasonably well. Near zero recoil momentum, the spin-orbit interaction in the distorted waves plays little role.
