Q‐value dependence of the vector analyzing power in the 58Ni(7L→i, 6Li)59Ni reaction

Angular distributions of the cross section and of the vector analyzing power for the 58Ni(7L↘i, 6Li)59Ni reaction leading to several groups of levels in the final nucleus have been measured at ELi=20.3 MeV. A pronounced Q‐value dependence of the vector analyzing power has been observed which to a large extent can be attributed to a kinematical effect caused by the polarization of the intrinsic angular momentum of the transferred neutron in 7Li.
