Coulomb stripping reactions

Stripping nuclear reactions have proved to be a useful tool in studying nuclear structure and energy levels. These stripping reactions have been widely studied at different energies for the incident projectiles with values both above and below the Coulomb barrier between in interacting particles. In this article, the stripping nuclear reactions are introduced to show the success of stripping reactions in providing information on nuclear structure. The results presented are mainly concerned with stripping processes occurring at bombarding energies well below the Coulomb barrier. The one- and two-nucleon and cluster transfer reactions have been considered. Different projectiles have been considered in such reactions as deuterons, tritons, 3He, 6Li, 12C, 14N, 16O and 19F nuclei. The spectroscopic factors from these reactions have been extracted. (orig.)
