Exchange effects in stripping reactions

Abstract

The necessity of considering exchange effects in stripping reactions is now well established. We have calculated the relative phases and amplitudes of the direct and exchange terms by taking anti-symmetrized wave functions. Shell model wave functions have been used for the nuclear wave functions. Calculations of the angular distributions for the reactions Be⁹(d, p)Be¹⁰, F¹⁹(d, p)F²⁰ and O¹⁶(d, p)O¹⁷ have been made and these are seen to agree very well with the experimental angular distributions in these reactions. The interactions responsible for the knock out reaction and the heavy particle stripping reaction have been discussed.
