Hi All

A reminder that journal club will be taking place today at 3:30 in the MOB
theory room.

See you there
Stephen

> Questions are below:
>
> 1) The grazing model predictions for asymmetric reactions 'agree well'
> with experimental measurements and fail to describe symmetric reactions.
> Asymmetric reactions have fewer valance nucleons than symmetric reactions
> (for the cases presented here) so is failure to describe symmetric
> reactions a result of the increased number of valance particles?
>
> 2) Without measuring the scattered particles, can we be certain that these
> are these really multi-nucleon transfer reactions? Could the reaction
> products be made in a different reaction mechanism.
>
> 3) Why wait 22 hours after irradiation to measure the gamma rays? If the
> source activity is too high to measure right after irradiation why not
> move the detector further away to allow the shorter lived reaction
> products to be measured?
>
> 4) The tef (theory evaluation factors) for reactions involving only
> neutron transfer (ΔZ=0) show good agreement with experimental data. Why
> might the models describe neutron transfer well and not proton transfer?
> Is it simply a charge effect?
>
> More questions may appear later if I can think of any. As usual, we'll
> meet on Wednesday at 3:30 in the MOB Theory Room.

> See you all there.
