Abstract

Spectra and neutron angular distributions have been obtained for the (α, n) reaction on ¹²C and ¹⁶O to (a) determine whether with this reaction more detailed spectroscopic information can be extracted than from heavy-ion induced ³He transfer reactions, and (b) to compare the results obtained for (α, n) with those from the (α, p) reaction on the same target nuclei. The results indicate that the same states are populated in (α, n) as in the heavy-ion induced reactions; and that the (α, n) results agree with expectations based on the (α, p) reaction at E_α = 40 MeV. The reactions can be well described as a simple direct transfer of a ³He-like cluster. The fact that the angular distributions show a J-dependence which is reproduced in the spectroscopic calculations provides a promising spectroscopic tool.
