STRIPPING AS MULTIPLE NUCLEON EXCHANGE - TENSOR POLARIZATION

Previous analyses [Gurbanovich, 1.8., Neudatchin, V.G., and Romanovsky , E.A., Yad. Fit., 1989, vol. 50, p. 1292; 1993, vol. 56, no. 1, p. 93 ] that were performed to clarify the role of multiple nucleon exchange in the stripping reaction (d, p) on O-16 for E(d) less than or equal to 10 MeV and which were concerned with the cross sections and vector polarization are supplemented with an analysis of the tensor-polarizat ion components at Ed = 9.3 MeV, the only energy value for which experi mental data are available. The tensor components calculated with a pot ential that provides a good description of experimental data simultane ously for the cross sections and vector polarization exhibit manifestl y oscillating behavior as functions of energy. This is new and indepen dent evidence that multiple nucleon exchange contributes significantly to stripping. However, the quantitative description of relevant exper imental data is not quite satisfactory.
