Transfer reactions Bibliography

Extracting excitation energies from transfer reactions

Consider: a + A → b + B
Energy balance (in CM frame):

f
i
Ecm + Ma c2 + MA c2 = Ecm + Mb c2 + MB c2

Q0 value:
Q0 = Ma c2 + MA c2 − Mb c2 − MB c2

f
Ecm = Ecm
i
+ Q0

Q0 > 0: the system gains kinetic energy (exothermic reaction)

Q0 < 0: the system loses kinetic energy (endothermic reaction)
