Alpha transfer process in /sup 16/O+ /sup 24/Mg elastic scattering

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
In elastic scattering between 4N nuclei, a rising oscillatory structure often appears in the differential cross section at backward angles. This anomalous phenomenon is explained by an ..cap alpha.. transfer process between the nuclei. For /sup 16/O+ /sup 24/Mg scattering, /sup 24/Mg is considered to be composed of an /sup 16/O core with two alpha particles orbiting around it. These valence particles may be transferred between the cores during the scattering. The nuclear molecular orbital model is applied. A natural agreement with the experimental data can be reached without any adjustment of the parameters involved.
