Noncentral effects in two-nucleon transfer reactions

Using general forms of the bound tri-nucleon wave function includingS- andD-components and of the two body interaction containing the tensor force, noncentral effects in two-nucleon transfer reactions of the type (t, p) or (³He, p) are investigated. The discussion suggests that non-central effects could play an important role in these reactions. The central and noncentral parts contribute coherently in certain cases in the expression for the differential cross section even if the spin independent optical potentials are used.
