Inelastic effects in the 24 Mg(t, α) 23 Na reaction at 33 MeV

The 24Mg(t, alpha )23Na reaction has been studied at an incident energy of 33 MeV. A comparison of DWBA and CCBA calculations reveals the sensitivity of this reaction to details of the collectivity of both the target and residual nuclei. Spectroscopic strengths extracted from the DWBA analysis are in good agreement with the predictions of the Wildenthal 'USD' interaction. Inelastic effects are found to account for the significant population of high-spin states in the residual nucleus.
