Developing techniques to study A ∼ 132 nuclei with (d, p) reactions in inverse kinematics.

A measurement of the ( d, p) reaction in inverse kinematics at energies near the Coulomb barrier using a stable beam of ¹²⁴Sn has been performed at ORNL’s Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF). The sensitivity of proton angular distributions to the transferred angular momentum has been demonstrated. Spectroscopic factors have been extracted for three states and are in agreement with previous measurements made in normal kinematics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
