Enhancement of the near-side component in quasiadiabatic calculations of theZn66(d,p)67Zn reaction

Abstract
Measurements of the spin dependence of large l, j=l-1/2, transfer reactions at medium energies provide a stringent test of three-body reaction models. We report measurements of the cross section (dσ/dΩ), vector (Ay) and tensor (Ayy) analyzing powers, and outgoing proton polarization (p) angular distributions (θc.m.=6.9°–82.3°) for the l=3, jπ=5/2 ground-state transition in Zn66(d,p)67Zn measured with 88.2-MeV deuterons. Adiabatic model calculations fail to describe either interference oscillations in the data or departures from the simple theoretical relationships, 1+3p+2Ayy=0 and 2+Ayy+3Ay=0, that are expected to hold for a far-side–dominated reaction. The quasiadiabatic model, in which the center-of-mass energy in breakup configurations is not constrained to be degenerate with the elastic channel, is able to reproduce qualitatively these features of the data.
