We have measured the cross sections and analyzing powers A y and A yy for the elastic and inelastic scattering of deuterons from the 0 + (g.s.), 2 + (4.44 MeV), 3 − (9.64 MeV), 1 + (12.71 MeV), and 2 − (18.3 MeV) states in 12 C at an incident energy of 270MeV. The data are compared with microscopic distorted-wave impulse approximation calculations where the projectile-nucleon effective interaction is taken from the three-nucleon t-matrix given by rigorous Faddeev calculations presently available at intermediate energies. The agreement between theory and data compares well with that for the (p, p ′ ) reactions at comparable incident energies/nucleon.Light-ion-induced inelastic scattering at bombarding energies above 100 MeV/nucleon is an appealing probe of nuclear structure due to the simple reaction mechanism. In such an energy domain, the reaction proceeds predominantly through a single step, and the distorted-wave impulse approximation (DWIA) gives a reasonable starting point for the theoretical description of data.

The nuclear structure of 17 Ne has been studied by the 20 Ne͑ 3 He, 6 He͒ 17 Ne reaction at 70 MeV. Thirteen levels were identified in 17 Ne, and angular distributions have been measured for the first time for this reaction. Based on the observed transferred angular momentum dependence of the angular distributions, a spin-parity assignment has been made for several states in 17 Ne. With the inclusion of the data on 17 Ne, Tϭ 3 2 quartet analog states have been completed for six levels in the Aϭ17 isobar system. The level shifts in these Aϭ17 nuclei are analyzed in terms of the isobaric multiplet mass equation ͑IMME͒. The results of such an analysis show a slight linear dependence of the b and c coefficients of the equation on the excitation energy. The coefficients for the positive parity states seem to follow a different systematics than the negative parity states, suggesting that these parity-dependent level shifts are reflecting the structure change. These coefficients of the IMME are discussed. ͓S0556-2813͑98͒01707-5͔PACS number͑s͒: 21.10. Hw, 25.55.Hp, 27.20.ϩn
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.
