The transfer reactions induced by 38 MeV 19F ions on 27Al

Abstract The reactions induced by 38 MeV 19 F on 27 Al have been studied using the Tandem Van de Graaff accelerator at Harwell together with a mass identification system based on a combination of a Buechner magnetic spectrograph and position sensitive silicon detectors in the focal plane of the magnet. Comparison of the elastic scattering measurements with Coulomb cross sections provided an absolute normalisation to the measured reaction yields. Transfer reactions were measured as a function of emitted particle energy and angle for single nucleon pick-up and stripping and for 2, 3 and 4 particle stripping. Essential features of the experimental technique are outlined and the experimental results are presented. The significance of the energy spectra and angular distributions are discussed. The results of DWBA analyses of one-nucleon transfer reactions yield spectroscopic factors for levels in 28 Si, 28 Al and 26 Al which are in fair agreement with those obtained in other studies.
