The BORON-10

The ^{10}B(p,n) ^{10}C reaction has been studied using the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility neutron time-of-flight facilities at an incident proton energy of 186 MeV between theta_{ rm lab} = 0^circ and theta_{rm lab } = 50^circ in steps of 5^circ. The IUCF neutron polarimeter was also used to measure the normal polarization observables at theta_ {rm lab} = 0^circ , 15^circ and 20 ^circ using a transverse polarized proton beam. Data for transitions to excited states in ^{10}C below 7 MeV are presented. Above that excitation energy a multipole decomposition analysis is carried out. Distorted wave calculations are presented for positive and negative parity transitions which are compared with data to assess spectroscopies of the ^{10}C excited states. The double differential cross section and normal polarization observables were also measured for the continuum region of the quasifree (QF) scattering on p-shell light nuclei ^{6,7}Li, ^ {10,11}B and ^{12,13 }C. The QF data are compared with calculations from competing theoretical models. Values for the normal polarization observables in the QF region are presented for the ^{10}B( vec{rm p},vec{rm n})^{10}C reaction.
