This paper reports on elastic scattering excitation functions for the reaction 9Li+4He measured at backward angles in the centre of mass energy range 5 MeV ≤ Ec.m. ≤ 9.5 MeV, with the aim of investigating the possible existence of molecular resonances which have been predicted to exist in the case of neutron-rich B-isotopes. Due to the short...

In the present paper it is described an analysis procedure suited for experiments where cross-sections strongly varying with energy are measured using beams having large energy dispersion. These cross-sections are typically the sub-barrier fusion excitation function of reactions induced by radioactive beams. The large beam energy dispersion,...
