Inelastic excitation and spin flip in heavy ion reactions

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

Coupled channel calculations were carried out for the inelastic scattering of /sup 13/C on /sup 24/Mg using form factors generated in a single folding model. We studied the population probability P/sub 1/ for /sup 24/Mg in the 1.37 MeV 2/sup +/ level with Vertical BarmVertical Bar = 1 and /sup 13/C in its ground state. Using spin-independent potentials the excitation of various states in /sup 13/C gave rise to a maximum P/sub 1/(6/sup 0/) of 0.2%. This increased to 0.3% when spin-dependence was allowed for in an approximate manner. At 10/sup 0/ the calculations fell significantly short of the experimental data. Large polarizations were found when excited states of /sup 13/C were populated; these effects are discussed.
