Complete set of polarization transfer observables for the ${}^{16}\mathrm{O}(\vec{p},\vec{n}){}^{16}\mathrm{F}$ reaction at 296 MeV and 0 degrees

Abstract

We report measurements of the cross section and a complete set of polarization transfer observables for the ${}^{16}\mathrm{O}(\vec{p},\vec{n}){}^{16}\mathrm{F}$ reaction at a bombarding energy of $T_p$ = 296 MeV and a reaction angle of ${\theta }_{\mathrm{lab}}$ = $0^{\circ }$. The data are compared with distorted-wave impulse approximation calculations employing the large configuration-space shell-model (SM) wave functions. The well-known Gamow-Teller and spin-dipole (SD) states at excitation energies of $E_x$ $\lesssim$ 8 MeV have been reasonably reproduced by the calculations except for the spin--parity $J^{\pi }$ = $2^{-}$ state at $E_x$ = 5.86 MeV. The SD resonance at $E_x$ $\simeq$ 9.5 MeV appears to have more $J^{\pi }$ = $2^{-}$ strength than $J^{\pi }$ = $1^{-}$ strength, consistent with the calculations. The data show significant strength in the spin-longitudinal polarized cross section $I{D}_L(0^{\circ })$ at $E_x$ $\simeq$ 15 MeV, which indicates existence of the $J^{\pi }$ = $0^{-}$ SD resonance as predicted in the SM calculations.
