Study of the Role and Characteristics of Multiple-Step Transfer Mechanisms in Quasi-Elastic Heavy-Ion Collisions, with Emphasis on Nuclear Spectroscopy

摘要

Attention is primarily focused on the possible usefulness of heavy-ion-induced two-nucleon transfer reactions as a spectroscopic tool, in particular, on how nuclear structure, as reflected in transfer form factors, can be probed through shape characteristics of angular distributions. Studies of this type have been gaining increasing interest due to new developments of experimental detection techniques and equipment. This has made measurements of small cross sections (down to l mu b) more feasible, and high resolution (40-70 keV) is obtainable with heavy-ion (carbon and oxygen) beams, as was proven by experimental collaborators during the development of the projects on which this thesis is based. The thesis is composed of a selection of publications writting during the period 1973-1976, preceded by an introduction in which the motivation for and the content of the papers in Parts B and C is outlined in condensed form.
