Single-nucleon transfer reactions induced by16O on14C

Angular distributions of the proton and neutron transfer reactions¹⁴C(¹⁶O,¹⁵N)¹⁵N and¹⁴C(¹⁶O,¹⁷O)¹³C leading to the ground states of the final nuclei were measured atE _lab=20, 25 and 30 MeV. A DWBA analysis was performed using the no-recoil approximation of Buttle and Goldfarb. All angular distributions, including the pronounced structures of the proton transfer arising from the fact that the final nuclei are identical, are well reproduced. The spectroscopic factor for the neutron transfer is in agreement with shell model calculations whereas the proton transfer into aj _<-state yields a value which is too high. Exact finite-range calculations do not show this discrepancy, indicating that recoil effects are important even for light targets and lower energies. Contributions of the nonnormall-transfer, however, are small.
