Probing α-cluster distribution via α-transfer reaction

Abstract

The α-transfer reaction 16O(6Li, d)20Ne is investigated in order to extract the α- clustering probability of 20Ne. The relative wave function for the α-16O system is calculated by a microscopic cluster model. We show the angular distribution of the transfer cross section is a good probe to see the radial dependence of the α-clustering probability in the surface region.
