An Investigation of (d, p) Stripping Reactions V: Results for some of the Light Elements and Conclusions

Angular distribution measurements have been carried out on proton groups emitted under bombardment by 8 MeV deuterons from targets of 6 Li, 7 Li, 9 Be, 10 B and 11 B. The theory of the stripping process has been applied to determine in each case the orbital angular momentum l of the captured neutron. In the following list the values of l are shown in brackets after the excitation energy of the product nucleus (in MeV): 6 Li → 7 Li, ground state (1), 0.478(1); 7 Li → 8 Li, ground state (1); 9 Be → 10 Be, ground state (1); 10 B → 11 B, ground state (1); 11 B → 12 B, ground state (1), 0.95(1), 1.67(0), 3.38(1), 4.53(2). Similar measurements have been made on triton groups from 7 Li and 9 Be and the results compared with the theory of Newns. The results of this and previous work on stripping are discussed.
