Transfer induced by core excitation within an extended distorted-wave Born approximation method

Abstract

Transfer reactions are standard nuclear spectroscopy tools providing essential information such as nuclear level occupancy. The authors extend a DWBA reaction formalism to include the effect of ``prompt'' core excitation for transfer reactions. The relatively modest (but non-negligible) corrections obtained for light systems are expected to be more significant in heavier nuclei where the core components are at lower energy.
