Effects ofLi6excitation inZn64(d,6Li)60Ni at low energies

Abstract
Cross sections and the analyzing powers Ay, Ayy, and Axx for the Zn64(d,6Li)60Ni reaction forming the ground and first-excited states of Ni60 are measured in 5° steps from θlab=25° to 80° using a 16.4-MeV vector- and tensor-polarized deuteron beam. The Li6 ground state and seven other states, each representing Li6 continuum states of a given spin and internal orbital angular momentum, are included in finite-range, coupled-channel Born approximation (CCBA) calculations for Zn64(d,6Li)60Ni. The CCBA calculations demonstrate that α transfers forming these continuum states, particularly those forming the first 3+ state in Li6, affect the Zn64(d,6Li)60Ni cross sections and analyzing powers strongly.
