Determination of the Astrophysically Relevant6Li(n, γ)7Li Cross Sections from the7Li(6Li,7Li)6Li Elastic-Transfer Reaction

Angular distributions for the 7Li(6Li, 7Li)6Li elastic-transfer reaction have been measured with the Q3D magnetic spectrograph at the HI-13 tandem accelerator of Beijing, China. The neutron spectroscopic factors of 7Li are derived by comparing the calculated differential cross sections, which are obtained through the distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) calculation, to the experimental data. And these spectroscopic factors are then used to deduce the direct capture cross sections in 6Li(n, γ)7Li at energies of astrophysical relevance.
