The differential cross section of elastic and inelastic scattering of He-3
ions on the C-13 nucleus has been measured at an energy of 37.9 MeV. By fit
ting the shape of the measured angular distribution of the elastic scatteri
ng the parameters of the optical model have been found. These parameters ha
ve been used for the DWBA calculations of angular distributions correspondi
ng to excitations of the C-13 levels 3.09(1/2(+)) MeV, 3.68(3/2(-)) MeV, 3.
85(5/2(+)) MeV, 7.55(5/2(-)) MeV, 8.84(1/2(-)) MeV and 11.85(7/2(+)) MeV. S
everal sets of transition densities calculated with different effective nuc
leon-nucleon interactions and six different M3Y interactions between a proj
ectile and target nucleon have been tested. Analysis of the inelastic scatt
ering of 135 MeV protons on C-13 is also presented, which enabled us to obt
ain additional information about the tested structure models.
