(p, d/sup 3/He) reaction as a quasifree reaction process

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
The (p,d/sup 3/He) reaction of /sup 6/Li, /sup 7/Li, /sup 9/Be, and /sup 12/C has been investigated in conjunction with studies of the (p,p..cap alpha..) reaction on the same targets. Coincident data for all four targets were obtained at a bombarding energy of 100 MeV for numerous angle pairs in order to test the reaction mechanism. Comparisons of the (p,d/sup 3/He) data to both (p,p..cap alpha..) data and distorted-wave impulse approximation calculations indicate a dominance of the direct quasifree reaction process (p + ..cap alpha.. ..-->.. d +/sup 3/He). The absolute ..cap alpha..-particle spectroscopic factors extracted using distorted-wave impulse approximation analysis are in agreement with the values obtained in the (p,p..cap alpha..) reaction.
