Abstract

Measurements for the elastic scattering of polarized deuterons from ⁴⁰Ca and ⁵⁶Fe at 30 MeV and from ⁹⁰Zr and ²⁰⁸Pb at 28.8 MeV are presented. Angular distributions of the cross section, of the vector analyzing power iT₁₁ and of the quantity $T_{22}^{−} √ 32 T_{20}$ were deduced. Analyses of the data in terms of the optical model present evidence for the deuteron-nucleus tensor interaction.

Nuclear Data Sheets for A=40
2017, Nuclear Data Sheets
The experimental nuclear structure data and decay data are evaluated for the known nuclides of mass 40 (Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar, K, Ca, Sc, Ti). Detailed evaluated nuclear structure information is presented with the best values recommended for level energies, half-lives, γ-ray energies and intensities, decay properties (energies, intensities and placement of radiations), and other spectroscopic data. The ⁴⁰Ca and ⁴⁰K nuclides remain as the most extensively studied from many different reactions and decays; no excited states are known in ⁴⁰Mg, ⁴⁰Al, ⁴⁰P and ⁴⁰Ti. This work supersedes the earlier full evaluation of A=40 by J. Cameron and B. Singh (2004Ca38).
Systematic study of elastic and reaction cross sections of deuteron induced reactions within the CDCC approach
2006, Nuclear Physics A
We present an analysis of a large set of deuteron induced reactions within the continuum discretized coupled channels framework. The data set includes spherical and near-spherical targets ranging from ¹⁶O to ²⁰⁸Pb and spans the energy range from 3 to 200 MeV. We perform calculations using both Koning–Delaroche and CH89 global parameterizations for the nucleon-target optical potentials and we show that these parameterizations provide satisfactory agreement with the experimental data. Nevertheless some discrepancies are observed for the heaviest targets at low incident energies. We show that the agreement with the experimental differential cross sections can be improved for the heaviest nuclei by introducing a more accurate treatment of the Coulomb interaction.
Nuclear data sheets for A = 40
2004, Nuclear Data Sheets
Nuclear spectroscopic information for the known nuclides of mass 40 (Al,Si,P,S,Cl,Ar,K,Ca,Sc,Ti) has been evaluated. The principal sources of the adopted levels presented are Endt's evaluations (1990En08, 1978En02). The data sets for reactions and decays, including all available gamma-ray data, are based mostly on the original literature. There are no data available for the excited states in ⁴⁰Al, ⁴⁰Si, ⁴⁰P and ⁴⁰Ti. The identification and particle stability of ⁴⁰Mg are still uncertain, although search for this nuclide has been made (2002Lu09,2002No11,2003Pe31).
Measurement of a complete set of analyzing powers for deuteron elastic scattering from <sup>40</sup>Ca at 270 MeV and an investigation of tensor potentials
1998, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
The differential cross section and the analyzing powers, A_y, A_yy, A_xx, and A_xz, have been measured for polarized deuteron elastic scattering from ⁴⁰Ca at 270 MeV. An optical model analysis reproduces the data with only central, spin-orbit, and T_R tensor terms, and shows the importance of effects arising from the imaginary parts of the potential, in particular for A_xx. No evidence is seen for either a T_P or T_L tensor potential.
A new type of polarimeter for vector- and tensor-polarized deuterons for applications in intermediate energy physics
1987, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A
The design, the construction and the calibration of a high-efficiency deuteron polarimeter for the simultaneous measurement of the vector polarization it₁₁ and the tensor polarization t₂₀, t₂₁ and t₂₂ is described. It is based on the ³He (d,p)⁴He reaction and is capable to measure the polarization of secondary low intensity deuteron beams (50–1000 deuteron/s) produced in nuclear and particle physics. The usable deuteron energy range is between 15 and about 100 MeV. The calibration of the polarimeter shows only a small sensitivity with respect to the energy, position and angle of the incident deuterons. The polarimeter is particularly able to work in a high background.
The optical model for elastic scattering of 10 to 15 MeV polarized deuterons from medium-weight nuclei
1979, Nuclear Physics, Section A
Differential cross sections and all four analysing powers have been measured for deuteron elastic scattering from ⁴⁶Ti, ⁵²Cr, ⁵⁴Fe, ⁶⁸Zn and ⁹⁰Zr at E_d = 10.0 MeV, ⁶⁸Zn and ⁹⁰Zr at 12.0 MeV, and ⁴⁶Ti and ⁵⁴Fe at 13.0 MeV. These data, and other data from the literature for deuteron scattering from ⁵²Cr, ⁵⁶Fe, ⁶⁰Ni, ⁹⁰Zr and ¹²²Sn at E_d = 15 MeV, were analyzed in terms of an optical potential containing central, spin-orbit ( $L · s$ ) and tensor (T_r terms, all of which are complex. All of the data were adequately reproduced by the calculations, except for the tensor analysing powers for the N = 28 nuclei ⁵²Cr and ⁵⁴Fe. The best-fit $L · s$ potentials have very small diffusenesses, and the real part of the T_r tensor potential is found to be much smaller than the imaginary part. There is some evidence that the Woods-Saxon potential shape is inadequate to describe the real central potentials for deuteron energies more than 8 or 9 MeV above the Coulomb barrier.
