Abstract

A microscopic distorted-wave Born-approximation (DWBA) analysis of the Li6(Li6, Li*6(3.56))Li*6(3.56) and the Li6(Li6, He6)Be6 reactions has been made and compared to microscopic studies of the p,p and He3,t reactions. The tensor interaction and full exchange of the 1p shell nucleons has been included. Agreement between the calculation and the data is generally good with two exceptions, and this agreement suggests that the reactions are indeed quasielastic. Special emphasis is given toward explaining the differences between the measured Li6(Li6, Li*6(3.56))Li*6(3.56) and Li6(Li6, He6)Be6 cross sections. The cross sections should be equal according to charge independence because all final states are members of the same T=1 isomultiplet. The theory correctly predicts the angular dependence of the difference in the two cross sections, but it does not predict the magnitude of the difference. The source of this disagreement may be attributed to differences in the wave functions of the final nuclei which are difficult to calculate.
