Characteristics of the Dineutron Periphery of the ^14 C( g.s. ) Nucleus, Manifesting in the Reaction ^12 C( t,p ) ^14 C

The reaction ^12C(t,p)^14C is used to study the neutron periphery of the ^14C(g.s.) nucleus. The experimental differential cross section of the reaction is compared with the theoretical one, taking into account the mechanisms of dineutron stripping and successive neutron transfer. The good agreement between the calculated cross section and the experimental one made it possible to determine the dineutron periphery configuration in the ground state of the ^14 C nucleus. It has been shown that the dineutron periphery in ^14 C represents a ‘‘skin’’ on the surface of the nucleus. The one-neutron cigar-shaped configuration, associated with the mechanism of independent neutron transfer, is quite extended.
