Total reaction cross sections R of (30-60)A MeV 4,6,8 He and 6,7,8,9,11 Li on Pb, and 2n-removal cross sections Ϫ2n of 6,8 He and 11 Li on Pb, were measured by injecting magnetically separated, focused, monoenergetic, secondary beams of those projectiles into a telescope containing Pb targets separated by thin Si detectors. All these R 's ͑except 4 He͒, and Ϫ2n for 6 He and 11 Li, are underpredicted by microscopic model calculations which include only nuclear forces. Better agreement is achieved by including electromagnetic dissociation in the model, for those projectiles for which either the electric dipole response functions or the dominant photodissociation cross sections were known. The cross sections Ϫ4n for 8 He, Ϫxn for 7,8,9 Li, and ( Ϫ3n ϩ Ϫ4n ) for 11 Li were found to be р0.7 b. All R 's were measured to better than 5% accuracy, showing that the method is usable for other target elements sandwiched into a Si telescope.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
