“…In the investigated energy range, the cross section for the neutron-transfer reaction 10 B ( 19 F, 18 F) ir B is about 2.5 times greater than that for the proton-transfer reaction 10 B( 19 F, 18 O) n C. Such is not the case for the corresponding transfer reactions induced by 14 function of laboratory energy. The averaged ratios, shown in Fig.…”

“…A quantitative description of this process for energies below the Coulomb barrier has been formulated by Breit et al 1 This tunneling theory gives a good fit to angular distributions for transfer reactions that occur at low incident energies. Indeed, this success has led investigators 2,3 to derive neutron reduced widths for the reaction 14 N( 14 N, 13 N) 15 N by measuring the total cross section as a function of energy, and by assuming that the reduced widths in 14 N and 15 N are equal. Good agreement was found between the reduced widths extracted in this manner and values based on shell-model calculations.…”

“…The direct extension of the tunneling theory to reduced-width determinations for nuclei other than \p nuclei would seem to be unreasonable in the light of theory's limited applicability. 1 Systematic studies of ( 14 N, 13 N) and ( 19 F, 18 F) reactions on given targets permit, however, the extraction of ratios of the neutron reduced widths in 14 N and 19 F if, for a given target, the reduced width in the acceptor nucleus is assumed to be the same for both reactions. This ratio determination has been made 5 -6 for six targets by the use of a variety of available total cross-section data.…”
