Comparison of the experimental data with theoretical predictions from various models shows good qualitative agreement, as long as distortion and channel-coupling effects in the projectile-target interaction are accounted for. The remaining differences between experiment and theory indicate the need for further studies of this collision system.enJournal article00200731532007111312103910.1103/PhysRevA.69.0447042-s2.0-294258858047246
