One-nucleon transfer between heavy ions at intermediate energies

One-nucleon transfer processes between heavy ions at intermediate energies are studied in the framework of the eikonal distorted-wave Born approximation. Optical phase shifts describing core-core relative motion are microscopically described in the Glauber model, starting from experimental nuclear densities and nucleon-nucleon scattering amplitudes at the corresponding energies. The interaction responsible for the nucleon transfer is a complex energy-dependent potential obtained by the Abel transform of the nucleon-core phase shift. Applications to one-proton and one-neutron transfer reactions on Pb208 induced by C12 and O16 projectiles are discussed for both angular distributions and normalization factors.
