It is shown that the long standing difficulty of very small theoretical cross sections for heavy-ion-induced twonucleon transfer reactions appears to have been solved, at least for the case of the 'Ca("0, ' 0)' Ca reaction.NUCLEAR REACTIONS Ca(' 0, ' 0) Ca, E=50 MeV, 0 ground state and 2 excited state.

The analysis of parity nonconservation ͑PNC͒ measurements performed on 232 Th by the TRIPLE Collaboration has been extended to include the neutron energy range of 250 to 1900 eV. Below 250 eV all ten statistically significant parity violations have the same sign. However, at higher energies PNC effects of both signs were observed in the transmission of longitudinally polarized neutrons through a thick thorium target. Although the limited experimental energy resolution precluded analysis in terms of the longitudinal asymmetry, parity violations were observed and the cross section differences for positive and negative neutron helicities were obtained. For comparison, a similar analysis was performed on the data below 250 eV, for which longitudinal asymmetries were obtained previously. For energies below 250 eV, the p-wave neutron strength functions for the Jϭ1/2 and Jϭ3/2 states were extracted: S 1/2 1 ϭ(1.68Ϯ0.61)ϫ10 Ϫ4 and S 3/2 1 ϭ(0.75Ϯ0.18) ϫ10 Ϫ4. The data provide constraints on the properties of local doorway states proposed to explain the PNC sign effect in thorium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
