Separation of projectile and ejectile spin-orbit distortions in an L = 0 (d, 3He) reaction

Abstract Analysing powers of the l tr = 0, 31 P( d , 3 He) 30 Si , reaction and its inverse reaction have been measured. Quantities which are proportional to the entrance and exit-channel spin-orbit distortions have been constructed from these analysing powers. From these quantities the relative importance of the two spin-orbit distortions was ascertained. A DWBA analysis including D-state contributions in the 3 He wave function was conducted in order to fit the spin-separated quantities. Optical-model potential parameters used in the DWBA analysis were deduced from a study of the entrance- and exit-channel elastic scattering data.
