The influence of the spectroscopic deformation of Li-isotopes on their interaction with51V
The energy dependence of the total reaction cross sectionσr and its tensor analyzing powerT20r was measured for the7Li−51V interaction in the energy rangeELi=10–20 MeV using two different experimental methods. Reaction residues were observed directly by their characteristicγ-emission, and the elastic scattering of7Li from51V was investigated. Additionally, the elastic scattering of6Li from51V was measured at 9.8, 12 and 14 MeV. The tensor analyzing power data can be interpreted as being caused by the spectroscopic mass deformation of the Li-ions. The energy dependence of σr andT20r above the Coulomb barrier can be described in terms of the classical sharp-cutoff model.
