Inverse scattering method for transfer reactions - art. no. 064610

We extend a modified Newton-Sabatier method for the solution of the fixed e nergy, coupled channels, inverse scattering problem to deal with a set of c luster transfer reactions. The method is tested by using analytic model pot entials for the transfer reaction O-16(alpha, Be-8)C-12. For low energy sca ttering we show that inclusion of S matrices for nonphysical, noninteger an gular momenta are required to find stable solutions. The possibility of app lication to actual experimental data is discussed.
