    Abstract

    The root-mean-square radii of the 2d5/2 neutron orbits in the ground states of molybdenum isotopes with A=93, 95, 97 have been determined from a DWBA analysis of cross section data from the sub-Coulomb (t, d) reaction. The differential cross sections for the (t, d) reaction were measured at laboratory angles in the range from 90 degrees to 160 degrees for triton energies in the range from 3.75 to 4.50 MeV. The spectroscopic factors of the populated states were obtained from a sum-rule analysis of published neutron stripping and pick-up reactions on the isotopes of molybdenum. The behaviour of the neutron orbit size, the parameters of the neutron bound-state potential and the tail size of the neutron wavefunction within the isotopic sequence of final nuclei are discussed.
