Investigation of quasimolecular states in 24Mg* through the analysis of the angular dα correlations in the 12C(14N, d)24Mg(α)20Ne reaction

Theoretical analysis of the differential cross sections and angular correlation functions In the C-12(N-14, d)Mg-24*(alpha)Ne-20 reaction at the energy of the incident nitrogen ions E-lab = 29-42 MeV is performed in the models of the direct transfer of C-12 cluster and the compound nucleus. Amplitudes of the reduced widths for the excited quasimolecular states like C-12 circle times(12) C* in the Mg-24 nucleus are obtained. The effect of various states of the relative motion of nuclei in the C-12 + C-12* configuration on the angular dalpha-correlation functions is studied. (C) 2002 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
