CLUSTER-STRIPPING REACTIONS IN THE HEAVY-ION COLLISIONS

The theory of cluster-stripping nuclear reactions in the heavy-ion collisions is considered. Yukawa plus exponential potential forms are used to represent the cluster-nucleus interactions for the bound states in the incident and residual nuclei. The ion-ion scattering reactions in both of the initial and final channels are considered using optical-model potentials of the Woods-Saxon forms. Theoretical closed forms for the form factors are obtained. The exact finite-range distorted-wave Born approximation (EFR-DWBA) is used in evaluating the theoretical expressions for the differential cross-sections of the cluster-stripping reactions process. Numerical calculations are carried out for the form factors and angular distributions for different heavy-ion reactions with cluster transfer. The results of the present theoretical calculations of the differential cross-sections are in good agreement with the experimental measurements. The obtained values of the extracted spectroscopic factors are reasonable.
