Elastic and Inelastic Scattering of Deuterons From 13C

Abstract

Abstract The differential cross-sections of deuteron elastic and inelastic scattering on 13C target were measured at the cyclotron U-150M INP, Almaty, Kazakhstan. Accelerated deuteron ion energy was 14.5 MeV. The results of the study are new experimental data for the d + 13C process of elastic and inelastic scattering to the 3.68 (3/2−), 6.86 (5/2+) and 7.55 (5/2−)MeV excited states of the 13C nucleus. The optical model with either a Woods-Saxon potential or a double folding model were used for analyzing the experimental results on elastic scattering. We performed theoretical calculations within the framework the coupled channel (CC) method for the indicated excited states. The optimal deformation parameters for the excited states of 13C nucleus were extracted.
