Theoretical studies on shaking processes in nuclear transfer reactions

The probabilities of shaking processes during nuclear transfer reactions have been studied using the Mukoyama formalism after the re-examination of formalism for β-decay processes. Electron shakeoff probabilities have been calculated for the α-transfer reaction in the range of Z = 10- 50. The Z-dependence on the shakeoff probabilities so obtained has been represented by an analytical equation with two parameters. The formalism has been applied on a typical nuclear transfer reaction ^Fe56₂₆ +^C12₆ →^Ni60₂₈ +^Be8₄ and it is found that electron shakeup, shakedown and shakeoff probabilities dominate for low l quantum number of the respective shells of the projectile-like fragment ion. However, for a particular value of l these processes show high probabilities for low values of n quantum number.
