Peculiarities of deuteron splitting by the Coulomb field of heavy nuclei

It is shown that the (d, pf) reaction occurs through two channels. The second channel is related to the deuteron splitting in the Coulomb field of the nucleus and the formation of a singlet deuteron with a kinetic energy lower than the incident-deuteron energy by 2.3 MeV, sizes exceeding > a _np, and an isospin equal to 1. The interaction of a singlet deuteron with the initial nucleus leads to occupation of the shape isomer states.
