Probabilities of neutron transfer to single-particle levels in the reaction 181Ta(18O, 19O) at near-barrier energies.

This paper presents the theoretical analysis of neutron transfer mechanism for the reaction ¹⁸¹Ta(¹⁸O, ¹⁹O) at energies 81.86 and 90.05 MeV in the center of mass system. Numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is used for studying neutron transfer processes. The evolution of the wave function for the neutron from the uppermost occupied single-particle neutron level of the ¹⁸¹Ta nucleus is determined. The dynamics of neutron transfer process is described and the probabilities of occupation of initially unoccupied single-particle neutron levels of the ¹⁸O nucleus are determined.
