Spin alignment and polarisation in the (16O,15N) transfer reactions

Abstract

The spin alignment of the15N 2/*3 (6.33 MeV) state was measured in the88Sr(16O,15N)89Y reaction atE L =96 MeV using theγ-recoil method. Angular distributions of excited states in15N and89Y were measured with high accuracy. The analysis in terms of DWBA shows that the spin alignment is correctly described by the usual reaction models. The polarisation of the outgoing15N1/2(GS) and15N 2/*3 (6.33 MeV) is discussed. It is shown that cross section differences for transitions to final states with different configurations are sensitive to a spin-orbit potential of15N. The strength and sign of the spin-orbit potential for15N is determined.
