Abstract

One neutron stripping cross sections (σ-1n) are measured in 9Be+159Tb system in the energy range Ecm/VB∼ 0.79–1.24 using offline gamma counting technique. The CRC model calculations including the ground state and the 2+ resonance state of 8Be, carried out using the FRESCO code, give a reasonable description of the measured data. In addition, comparisons of reduced 1n-stripping cross sections- σred with 9Be for different target nuclei (A ∼ 150–200), and σred for 9Be, 6Li with 159Tb target are presented. While no strong target dependence is observed with 9Be projectile, σred(9Be) is significantly larger than that for 6Li, which is consistent with the Q-value for transfer reactions and breakup threshold energy of projectiles.
