More Information
Summary:The Surrogate nuclear reactions method, an indirect approach for determining cross sections for compound-nuclear reactions involving difficult-to-produce targets, is reviewed. The underlying formalism is outlined, the challenges involved in carrying out a complete Surrogate treatment are detailed, and the present status of the theory is summarized. The approximations employed in the analyses of Surrogate experiments are discussed and their validity is examined.
