One-proton transfer reaction for the ¹⁸O + ⁴⁸Ti system at 275 MeV

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ⁴⁸Ti, ¹⁶O, ²⁷Al(¹⁸O, ¹⁹F)⁴⁷Sc/¹⁵N/²⁶Mg, E=275 MeV; measured reaction products, ¹⁹F ejectiles, excitation energy spectrum, differential σ(θ) for ground and excited states of ¹⁹F, ⁴⁷Sc, ¹⁵N and ²⁶Mg using MAGNEX large acceptance magnetic spectrometer and a focal plane detector at the K800 Superconducting Cyclotron of INFN-LNS laboratory, Catania as part of the NUMEN Collaboration research program of transfer reactions; data analyzed using the distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA), and coupled-channel Born approximation (CCBA) frameworks using the FRESCO code, with the initial and final-state interactions described by the Sao Paulo potential, and the one-proton spectroscopic amplitudes for the projectile and target overlaps derived from shell-model calculations. Relevance to nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) of 0νββ decay through the study of heavy-ion induced double charge exchange (DCE) reactions on various targets as candidates for double-β decay.
