Two-Nucleon Distorted-Wave Born Approximation Analysis ofF19(d, α)O17Data

The ${\mathrm{F}}^{19}(d, \alpha ){\mathrm{O}}^{17}$ absolute differential cross sections have been measured at bombarding energies of 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.5, and 11.5 MeV for the ground and first four excited states of ${\mathrm{O}}^{17}$. Attempts were made to fit the ground- and first-excited-state relative differential cross sections, using the two-nucleon DWBA theory of Glendenning. Reasonable fits were obtained only for the ground-state distributions at higher bombarding energies.
