Results of an experimental investigation of 54Fe(d, n)5jCo reaction are presented and spectroscopic strengths for both T, and T, states are derived. It is concluded that within the limits of experimental and analytical uncertainties there is no discrepancy between the spectroscopic factors for T, analogue states as derived from the (d, n) and (3He,d) reactions.
Some time ago it was pointed out by Siemssen et al. [l] that apparently the (d,n) spectroscopic factors for T, analogue states in the oddodd nuclei FOB, I4N and 26~1 are a factor 2 to 3 smaller than those derived from (3He, d) experiments. Tamura [2] made some coupled-channel calculations in which the conventional DWBA amplitude was modified to include charge exchange coupling between (d, p) and (d, n) channels. These CC + DWBA calculations gave much reduced theoretical cross sections for the (d, n) reaction and apparently removed the discrepancy in spectroscopic factors. Subsequently it was found [3] that this result was incorrect and arose from a computational error. Actually the CC + DWBA cross sections turn out to be a little bit larger, thereby further increasing the discrepancy. Thus if the experimental effect pointed out by Siemssen et al. is real, no theoretical explanation is presently available. This makes it even more important to see if the experimental effect persists in heavier nuclei for which optical potentials and DWBA analyses are known to be more reliable. In this letter we report on results of a 54Fe(d,n)55Co experiment done at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory time-of -flight facility as a

part of a systematic study of the (d, n) reaction on f-p shell nuclei [4,5]. An enriched self-supporting target of 54Fe was bombarded by a pulsed deuteron beam of 10.0 MeV energy from the ORNL tandem. The flight path length was 25 meters and the detected neutron resolution was ( 1.5 ns. The angular distributions were analyzed with the DWBA method using nonlocality and finite-range car rections. The optical potential parameters were taken from global studies of Perey and Perey [6] and Becchetti and Greenlees [7]. Typical fits to the angular distributions are shown in fig. 1, In table 1 we list the spectroscopic strength (2J+ l)C2S obtained for T< states as well as for some of the T, states of the same Jn from our experiment as well as from several (3He,d) experiments reported in the literature [8-lo]. It appears that large differences exist between the (d, n) and (3He, d) results, both of which also dif fer from the corresponding (d,p) results for the T< states in the ‘parent’ nucleus 55Fe. However, it is clear that since the different experiments have been analyzed under different approximations and with different optical potentials, dif ferences are indeed to be expected. It may not be justified, for example to compare the (d,n) results obtained above with the results from the (3He, d) data of Armstrong and Blair [ 10,111 which were analyzed in the local zero-range approximation with the use of a radial cut-off, a simulated spin-orbit effect and a different radius for the proton potential well. To illustrate this point, in column 7 of table 1 we present the re657

sults of a non-local finite-range reanalysis of their data. The absolute spectroscopic factors have changed rather drastically, although the strength ratios for transitions of the same Jr are essentially unaltered. Thus a more reliable comparison between the different results can be made for the ratios (2Jt 1)C2S>/2J+ 1)C2S, between T, and T< states of the same Jr. In table2 we present such ratios for states in 55Co. As is clear from table 2, the (3He,d) and (d,n) results agree at least as well as the different (3He, d) results within themselves, and all dif ferences are within the usual 20% errors in spectroscopic factors extracted from DWBA analyses. Thus the possible (d,n), (3He,d) discrepancy is not supported by our data. In table 2 we have also included additional evidence supporting our conclusions. This includes relative spectroscopic factors for sgCu states obtained from (d, n) experiments [4] and (3He,d) experiments [ 12,131, and for %a states obtained from (d, n) experiments [ 141 and (3He,d) experiments [ 151. It appears, quite convincingly, that at least for odd-even and eveneven nuclei in table 2, with A > 40, there is no significant discrepancy between (d, n) and (3He, d) spectroscopic strengths for T> states.
