Direct component in the ${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$(${}_{}{}^7{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$,p)${}_{}{}^{18}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ reaction

For the ${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$(${}_{}{}^7{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$,p)${}_{}{}^{18}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ reaction previously observed deviations of cross sections from statistical ($2J+1$) dependence can be accounted for in a simple model of direct six-nucleon transfer.
