Elastic and inelastic scattering of deuterons from ¹³c

The differential cross-sections of deuteron elastic and inelastic scattering on C-13 target were measured at the cyclotron U-150M INP, Almaty, Kazakhstan. Accelerated deuteron ion energy was 14.5 MeV. The results of the study are new experimental data for the d + C-13 process of elastic and inelastic scattering to the 3.68 (3/2(-)), 6.86 (5/2(+)) and 7.55 (5/2(-))MeV excited states of the C-13 nucleus. The optical model with either a Woods Saxon potential or a double folding model were used for analyzing the experimental results on elastic scattering. We performed theoretical calculations within the framework the coupled channel (CC) method for the indicated excited states. The optimal deformation parameters for the excited states of C-13 nucleus were extracted.
