Experimental studies of nuclear collisions involving light weakly bound nuclei show a systematic suppression of the complete fusion cross section by ∼30% with respect to the expectation for tightly bound nuclei, at energies above the Coulomb barrier. Although it is widely accepted that the phenomenon is related to the weak binding of these...

Background: Large α yields have been reported over the years in reactions with 6 Li and 7 Li projectiles. Previous theoretical analyses have shown that the elastic breakup (EBU) mechanism (i.e., projectile breakup leaving the target in its ground state) is able to account only for a small fraction of the total α-inclusive breakup cross...

In 1980s Ichimura, Austern and Vincent [Phys.Rev.C 32, 431 (1985)] proposed a quantum mechanical theory to study the problem of inclusive breakup cross sections in the nuclear reactions. Using the DWBA version of this model, applications to deuteron and 6 Li inclu- sive breakup reactions are presented and compared with some available data

Collisions between complex nuclei may give rise to their total or partial fusion. The latter case is found experimentally to gain importance when one of the colliding nuclei is weakly bound. It has been commonly assumed that the partial fusion mechanism is a two-step process, whose first step is the dissociation of the weakly bound nucleus,...

The problem of the calculation of inclusive breakup cross sections in nuclear reactions is reexamined. For that purpose, the post-form theory proposed by Ichimura, Austern, and Vincent [Phys. Rev. C 32, 431 (1985)PRVCAN0556-281310.1103/PhysRevC.32.431] is revisited, and an alternative derivation of the nonelastic breakup part of the inclusive...

In this paper, we address the problem of the post-prior equivalence in the calculation of inclusive breakup and transfer cross sections. For that, we employ the model proposed by Ichimura, Austern, and Vincent [Phys. Rev. C 32, 431 (1985)], conveniently generalized to include the part of the cross section corresponding the transfer to bound...

We address the problem of the post-prior equivalence in inclusive breakup reactions induced by weakly bound nuclei. The problem is studied within the distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) model of Ichimura, Austern, and Vincent [ Phys. Rev. C 32 , 431 ( 1985 )]. The post and prior formulas obtained in this model are briefly recalled and...

We propose an extension of the inclusive breakup model of Ichimura, Austern and Vincent [Phys. Rev. C 32, 431 (1985)] for the evaluation of incomplete fusion (ICF) cross sections in nuclear reactions induced by two-body projectiles. The main idea, adopted in other methods, consists in the separation of the participant-target optical potential...

The Continuum-Discretized Coupled-Channels (CDCC) has been successfully employed to describe elastic and breakup of nuclear reactions induced by weakly bound projectiles. In this contribution, we review some other, less widespread applications of the CDCC wavefunction, some of them in combination with other reaction formalisms, which are being...

We reexamine the elastic and breakup observables of the 11Be + 64Zn reaction at the near-barrier energy of 28.7 MeV. The measured quasi-elastic data are compared with CDCC and extended CDCC (XCDCC) calculations, the latter including the effect of the 10Be deformation. The angular distribution of emitted 10Be fragments, reported in the original...

Elastic scattering and breakup angular distributions of the weakly bound radioactive nucleus 8 B on a 208Pb target at an incident energy of 238 MeV, which corresponds to four times the Coulomb barrier, have been measured at the HIRFL-RIBLL facility (Institute of Modern Physics, Lanzhou). The data have been analyzed using the optical model and...

Fission and gamma decay probabilities of 237U and 239Np have been measured, for the first time simultaneously in dedicated experiments, via the surrogate reactions 238U(3He, 4He) and 238U(3He,d), respectively. While a good agreement between our data and neutron-induced data is found for fission probabilities, gamma decay probabilities are...

We investigated the 238U(d,p) reaction as a surrogate for the n + 238U reaction. For this purpose we measured for the first time the γ -decay and fission probabilities of 239U∗ simultaneously and compared them to the corresponding neutron-induced data. We present the details of the procedure to infer the decay probabilities, as well as a...

Angular distributions of quasielastic scattering and breakup of the neutron-rich halo nucleus 11Be on a 208Pb target at an incident energy of 140 MeV (about 3.5 times the Coulomb barrier) were measured at HIRFL-RIBLL. A strong suppression of the Coulomb nuclear interference peak is observed in the measured quasielastic scattering angular...
