The investigation of 27Al(d,p)28Al using by distorted wave born approximation method

In this thesis, the (d,p) transfer reaction induced by sending a deuterium nucleus with an energy of 23MeV onto a 27Al nucleus has been theoretically investigated in detail. Appropriate nuclear optical potential parameters for the entrance and exit channels have been obtained, then the quantum mechanical direct transfer reaction model, angular cross section and spectroscopic factors, which are very important concepts in understanding the nuclear structure, have been obtained. The obtained spectroscopic factor values were found to be in good agreement with the theoretical nuclear shell model calculations and were also found to be compatible with the nuclear levels of the 27Al nucleus. The importance of this reaction in the astrophysical context has been evaluated, especially in terms of its contribution to the isotope balance formed in the late stages of supernova explosions and asymptotic giant branch stars (AGB). In the study, theoretical models, Distorted Wave Born Aproximation theory (DWBA), a new code, FRESCO and DWUCK-5 codes have been used for cross section calculations and they have been compared with the results obtained before. It has been revealed how effective transfer reactions are in understanding both the nuclear structure and shedding light on stellar evolution. This study aims to contribute to the human effort to understand the universe with the methods offered by nuclear physics.
