Microscopic and macroscopic distorted wave Born approximation calculations
have been performed using molecular, Michel and normal optical potentials t
o analyze the angular distributions of cross sections for 12 transitions po
pulating the 0.0, 0.709, 1.454, 1.974, 2.538, 2.72, 2.84, 3.02, 3.93. 4.62,
5.42, and 7.20 MeV states of P-30 via the (alpha ,d) reaction. Only the mo
lecular potential is able to produce satisfactory fits to the data, but the
normal optical potential is found to be inadequate in accounting for the l
arge-angle data and the Michel potential is just unsatisfactory. The spectr
oscopic factors for the d-cluster transfer are deduced from the full finite
-range distorted-wave Born approximation and compared to the shell-model pr
edictions for the even-parity states. The spin-parity assignment of the 3.9
3 MeV state is confirmed. The best-fit value for the finite-range parameter
for the zero-range DWBA calculations is also deduced.
