13C(11B, 12C)12B REACTION AT 45 MeV, 12C + 12B INTERACTION VERSUS THAT OF 12C + 10,11B.

Complete angular distributions including both forward and backward angles are reported for the reaction 13C(11B, 12C)12B at Elab(11B) = 45 MeV leading to the ground and excited states of 12C and 12B. This reaction explores the interplay of proton and neutron transfers as well of those for larger clusters. The experimental data were analyzed within the coupled-reaction-channels method (CRC) that included the 13C+11B elastic scattering channel as well as channels for one- and two-step transfers of nucleons in the coupling scheme. The necessary 13C+11B optical potential parameters were obtained from previous work, while those for 12C + 12B were deduced from fitting the calculations to the 13C(11B, 12C)12B reaction data. Needed spectroscopic amplitudes of transferred nucleons and clusters were calculated within the translational-invariant shell model (TISM). The data are well-described by proton transfers while contributions from neutron transfer are only important at the largest angles. New global optical potentials for the elastic scattering of 8,10,11B isotopes were tested and found to describe the forward angles reaction data but not those for the middle and larger angles even when the ground-state reorientation of 11B in the entrance channel is included.
