Abstract
Distorted-wave effects in stripping reactions may be more apparent in the analysis of nucleon--ray angular correlation than in the angular distribution of the stripped nucleon. The reaction has been used to study the distortion effect, since the angular distribution of neutrons feeding 15.11-MeV 1(+) state shows remarkably good agreement with the Butler stripping pattern. The angular distribution of other neutron groups of the reaction cannot be fitted satisfactorily by Butler approximation. The neutrons feeding the 1(+) 15.11-MeV state of as determined by a time-of-flight technique were detected in coincidence with the 15.11-MeV de-excitation ray emitted in direction 10° and 90° relative to the incident deuterons at deuteron energies of 2.59 and 2.29 MeV. The result of the correlation shows marked departure from the plane-wave, Butler theory.
