EFFECTS OF LI-6 EXCITATION IN ZN-64(D-], LI-6)NI-60 AT LOW ENERGIES

Cross sections and the analyzing powers A(y), A(yy), and A(xx) for the Zn-64(d,Li-6)Ni-60 reaction forming the ground and first-excited states of Ni-60 are measured in 5-degrees steps from theta(lab) = 25-degrees to 80-degrees using a 16.4-MeV vector- and tensor-polarized deuteron beam. The Li-6 ground state and seven other states, each representing Li-6 continuum states of a given spin and internal orbital angular momentum, are included in finite-range, coupled-channel Born approximation (CCBA) calculations for Zn-64(d,Li-6)Ni-60. The CCBA calculations demonstrate that alpha-transfers forming these continuum states, particularly those forming the first 3+ state in Li-6, affect the Zn-64(d,Li-6)Ni-60 cross sections and analyzing powers strongly.
