Exact finite range calculations of light-ion induced two-neutron transfer reactions

Exact finite-range (EFR) distorted-wave Born approximation calculations were performed for light-ion induced two-neutron transfer reactions, by using a technique to calculate the form factors rather fast. The use of this method made it possible to carry out calculations even when realistic light-ion wave functions and multi-configurational two-neutron wave functions were used and large transferred angular momenta were considered. It was found that, at lower bombarding energies, the predictions of the EFR and zero-range calculations agree very closely both in angular distributions and relative magnitudes of the cross sections, though they differ significantly in absolute magnitude. As the bombarding energy increases, the discrepancy between the predicted absolute magnitude becomes still larger, and noticeable differences are seen even in relative cross sections. For all the energies considered, the EFR calculations predicted the absolute magnitudes of the experimental cross sections to within a factor of several units.
