Abstract
dc:description.abstractDifferential cross sections for the ⁵⁵Mn(d,³He)⁵⁴Cr and ⁵⁵Mn(d,d)⁵⁵Mn(g.s.) reactions at Ed = 45.6 MeV were measured in the 6°-48° angular region (laboratory frame) using a k = 600 MeV magnetic spectrometer with a resolution of ~40 keV (full-width at half maximum). Spectroscopic factors associated with the observed transitions to twenty-four ⁵⁴Cr final states up to 6.107 MeV excitation were determined from local, zero-range distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) analyses of the measured angular distributions, allowing for l = 0, 1, 2 and 3 transfers. An optical-model analysis of the (d,d) data has been performed in order to yield optimum values of the potential parameters required for calculating the distorted wave-functions associated with the entrance channel.
