Does Pickup to Analog States Exhibit a Charge Dependence of the Nuclear Force?
Discrepancies between observed ratios of d, 3He and d, t yields populating analog states in 18O and 18F and ratios calculated by standard distorted-wave theory, which were thought to provide evidence for a charge-dependent nuclear interaction, are resolved by extending the conventional theory to include both an explicit charge-exchange channel in the continuum and foŕm factors generated from a microscopic analysis.
