Studies on the Ne(p, d)Ne and Ne(d, p)Ne reactions

Angular distribution measurements have been performed on the ²¹Ne(p, d)²⁰Ne and ²¹Ne(d, p)²²Ne reactions at E_p = 20 MeV and E_d = 10.2 MeV, respectively. In the ²¹Ne(p, d) ²⁰Ne reaction, the prolific formation of the J^π = 2⁺, 1.63 MeV state was characterized by l_n = 2 pickup, and the distribution associated with the 4⁴, 4.25 MeV state was suggestive of a weak l_n = 2 pickup. All of the observed l_n = 1 pickup strength is associated with formation of the 2^?, 4.97 MeV ²⁰Ne level. The ²¹Ne(d, p)²²Ne results indicate that l_n = 2 transfer is involved in the formation of the 1.28, 3.36, 5.52, 5.63 and 6.65 MeV ²²Ne states. The angular distribution observed for the 2⁺, 4.46 MeV state and also the unresolved 5.33, 5.36 MeV composite of states required both l_n = 0 and l_n = 2 components in the associated distorted-wave Born approximation fits. The spectroscopic factors extracted from the present results are compared with those predicted by the Nilsson model without mixing: Applications of the angular momentum projection rule to the ²¹Ne(d, p)²²Ne reaction are considered.
