Si29,30(O16,N15) proton stripping reaction at 60 MeV

Abstract
Differential cross sections of the [O16, N15(g.s.)] reaction on Si29 and Si30 were measured at E(O16)=60 MeV at far forward angles. The strongly oscillatory ΔL=1, (2) angular distributions for the 2s12 and 1d32 transitions to P30 and P31 were found to be out of phase. The pure ΔL=1, 2s12 transitions were fitted well by finite range distorted wave Born approximation calculations using the code LOLA. The phase of the structure of the 1d32 transfer angular distributions could not be fitted with the distorted wave Born approximation. Spectroscopic factors were in good agreement with (He3,d) results for 2s12 and 1d52 transitions and a factor of 2 too large for 1d32 transfer. This factor of 2 for the 1d32 transitions is not understood. The mixed j transition to the 2+ state in P30 (1.454 MeV) was found to be consistent with almost exclusive j=32 transfer as predicted by shell model calculations.
