The effects of far-side dominance on the j-dependence of the medium energy ¹¹⁶Sn(d, p)¹¹⁷Sn reaction

Abstract

We report measurements of the ¹¹⁶Sn(d, p)¹¹⁷Sn reaction to the $\text{d}\text{3}\text{2}\text{,}\text{g}\text{7}\text{2}\text{,}\text{and}\text{h}\text{11}\text{2}$ low-lying states at 79.0 MeV. Transfer reaction calculations which include an adiabatic deuteron channel wavefunction, finite range including the deuteron S- and D-state, and non-locality corrections are performed for these transitions. A separation of the reaction amplitude into the near- and far-side components shows that the $\text{g}\text{7}\text{2}\text{and}\text{h}\text{11}\text{2}$ reaction calculations are far-side dominated. In this context, the proton channel spin-orbit distortions modify the j-dependence of the A_y vector analyzing power and introduce a strong j-dependence in the A_yy tensor analyzing power.
