Abstract

The angular distributions of the ¹⁴C + ¹⁸O elastic and inelastic scattering at the energy E _lab( ^18O) = 105 MeV were measured firstly. The data were analyzed within the optical model and the coupled-reaction-channels method. The parameters of the ¹⁴C + ¹⁸O optical potential were deduced. The contributions of one- and two-step transfers of nucleons and clusters in the ¹⁴C + ¹⁸O elastic and inelastic scattering were calculated. The isotopic differences between the ¹⁴C + ¹⁸O and ^{12, 13, 14}C + ¹⁸O potentials were studied.
