Interaction of 8/Mev 12C with 88Sr; neutron transfer, inelastic scattering and spin alignment of the 2+ state of 12C

Using a Q3D magnetic spectrometer the elastic and inelastic scattering of 12C on 88Sr and the neutron pick-up (12C, 13C) has been studied. The spin alignment of the inelastically excited 2+ state of 12C (4.43 MeV) has been deduced from the line shapes broadened by the γ-decay in flight. Thus for each m-substate a full angular distribution was obtained. The m = 1 substate shows a shifted interference minimum, which is explained by the different strength of the Coulomb and nuclear amplitudes in the m-substates. The analysis of the data on elastic scattering, inelastic scattering, alignment and the neutron transfer can be described consistently with one choice of the optical model parameters. (orig.)
