C-12 induced transfer reactions on Fe-56

Transfer reactions Fe-56((12) C, xN) have been investigated. Angular distri butions of particles following elastic scattering, one neutron and one prot on transfer reaction channels leading to low lying states in respective res idual nuclei have been measured. These are analysed using the coupled react ion channel (CRC) formalism. Starting with a double folded real potential, the elastic scattering angular distribution is calculated using the compute r code FRESCO. Inclusion of couplings to first excited states in both the t arget and the projectile already tends to describe the experimental elastic scattering distribution. Additional coupling of one neutron transfer react ion to first five excited states in Fe-55 and one proton transfer reaction to first three low lying states in Co-57 improves fit to the elastic scatte ring angular distribution. Further refinement in fit is brought about by ad dition of a weak imaginary potential to the complex potential calculated by FRESCO to simulate the absorption effects due to those channels whose coup ling is not included explicitly. Such a potential describes the experimenta l angular distributions for elastic, one neutron and one proton transfer ch annels correctly in shape and magnitude without any arbitrary normalisation .
