(O16,N15) Reaction on2s−1d- and1f−2p- Shell Nuclei

The (${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$, ${}_{}{}^{15}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{N}$) reaction has been studied on targets of ${}_{}{}^{24}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Mg}$, ${}_{}{}^{27}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Al}$, ${}_{}{}^{28}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Si}$, ${}_{}{}^{45}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Sc}$, and ${}_{}{}^{46,48}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ti}$ and finite-range distorted-wave calculations have accounted well for the extreme $Q$ dependences (arising from angular momentum mismatch) of the cross sections, yielding spectroscopic factors in good agreement with spectroscopic factors extracted from light-ion-induced reactions. This agreement is interpreted as an indication that the heavy-ion-induced proton transfer reaction - when it populates states of strong single-particle character - can be well understood within the framework of the distorted-wave theory.
