Effect of inelastic scattering processes on (p, t) reactions exciting the first 2+ states in Te, Sn and Cd isotopes

Abstract Differential cross sections of (p, t) reactions exciting the 2 + 1 states in Te ( A = 128 − 120), Sn (116 and 114) and Cd (114 and 112) have been measured at E p = 52 MeV. The observed differences of the angular distributions are interpreted by taking into account the two-step processes through inelastic scattering channels.
