The measurement of cross sections of inelastic and transfer reactions with gamma-particle coincidence. In: REUNIÃO DE TRABALHO SOBRE FÍSICA NUCLEAR NO BRASIL, 32., 7-12 de setembro, 2009, Aguas de Lindoia, SP. <b>Resumo...</b> Disponível em: http://repositorio.ipen.br/handle/123456789/20479.http://repositorio.ipen.br/handle/123456789/20479The reaction cross sections of inelastic excitation and transfer to excited states can be measured by gammaparticle coincidences. Special care has to be taken, however, with the particle-gamma angular correlations, which can be affected by the de-alignment caused by hyperfine interaction when the gamma decay occurs in vacuum. This is further complicated when rather thick targets are used (in order to obtain large statistics) causing the recoil velocity distribution to become broad. We describe a series of tests in order to understand and control these effects and obtain reliable values for the cross sections. The measurements were made at the Pelletron accelerator laboratory of the University of S˜ao Paulo with the Saci-Perere spectrometer [1], which consists of 4 GeHP Compton suppressed gamma detectors and a 4π charged particle ancillary system with 11 ∆E − E plastic phoswich scintillators. A set of collimators was introduced for the reduction of the angular aperture of the plastic scintillators and to avoid excessive count rates due to elastically scattered beam particles [2]. The passive photomultiplier bases were replaced by active bases, allowing for a very stable operation. The 18O + 110Pd reaction was measured (among others) in the beam energy range from 46-60 MeV. Up to eleven different angles of the scattered particle were measured for each run, in the interval from 30 to 140 degrees relative to the beam direction. The targets consisted of 0.84 mg/cm2 isotopically enriched 110Pd with a 1.5 mg/cm2 Au backing. In order to test the corrections due to the vacuum de-alignment, some measurements have been made with the target turned around (the beam entering through the Au layer). Extensive Coulomb excitation calculations (code GOSIA [3]) were performed and compared with the data at low energies and scattering angles. In addition, calculations were performed with a new model based on the São Paulo potential, specifically developed for the inclusion of dissipative processes such as deep-inelastic collisions (DIC) [4,5]. We discuss the comparison between the results.openAccessnuclear reactionscross sectionstransfer reactionsgamma sourcesparticlescoincidence methodsResumo de eventos científicoshttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-6318-6805https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3237-8588
