Inverse scattering method for transfer reactions

Abstract

We extend a modified Newton-Sabatier method for the solution of the fixed energy, coupled channels, inverse scattering problem to deal with a set of cluster transfer reactions. The method is tested by using analytic model potentials for the transfer reaction [Formula Presented] For low energy scattering we show that inclusion of S matrices for nonphysical, noninteger angular momenta are required to find stable solutions. The possibility of application to actual experimental data is discussed. © 2000 The American Physical Society.
