/sup 16/O(d,p)/sup 17/O reaction to the unbound 5. 09-MeV state of /sup 17/O

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
New measurements of the /sup 16/O(d,p) reaction cross sections to the ground, 0.87-, and 5.09-MeV states in /sup 17/O have been performed for eleven angles from 17.5/sup 0/ to 150/sup 0/ at a bombarding energy of 12 MeV. The results are compared with earlier measurements at the same energy. The new measurements are shown to resolve a discrepancy observed for the comparison of the neutron strength of the unbound 5.09-MeV state extracted from earlier (d,p) studies with that from neutron scattering experiments. These results indicate that the method of Vincent and Fortune for distorted-wave analysis of stripping to unbound states yields a reliable value for the neutron width for this important test case. Measurements of /sup 16/O(d,d) elastic scattering cross sections performed simultaneously are reported.
