Investigation of (³He,³He)- and (³He,t)-reactions on¹⁰B,¹¹B and¹³C

Abstract

The³He-elastic scattering and the (³He,t)-reactions on¹⁰B,¹¹B and¹³C were studied. Excitation functions for the reactions¹⁰B(³He,t)¹⁰C and¹¹B(³He,t)¹¹C were measured at incident energies between 11 and 17 MeV. All angular distributions were taken at 14 MeV³He-energy. From an optical model analysis of the³He-elastic scattering data the parameters of the optical potentials were determined. Best fits were obtained using surface peaked potentials. The (³He,t)-reactions were interpreted in terms of a microscopic model, which, in general, gave a good account of the data. Corrections due to nonlocality effects were included in the calculations. A satisfactory agreement of the predicted and the measured cross sections required an effective nucleon-nucleon interaction of the Yukawa form (α⁻¹=1.2 fm). Using a Serber exchange mixture the isospindependent- and the spin-isopin-dependent strength parameters of the potential were deduced to beVτ=21.4±2.3 MeV andV _{σ τ}=19.5 ± 2.7 MeV, respectively.
