jDependence of the (F19,O16) Reaction and Spin-Orbit Forces in the Heavy-Ion Optical Potential

Abstract
The shapes of the observed angular distributions for the reactions Si28,30(F19, O16)P31,33 to 32+ and 52+ states differ strongly. A consistent description of this j dependence and of the ground-state ½+ angular distributions is given by distorted-wave Born-approximation calculations which assume triton cluster transfer and include spin-orbit potentials in both entrance and exit channels. We find from coupled-channel Born-approximation calculations that inelastic excitation of F19 does not affect the shapes significantly.
