The elastic scattering of the radioactive halo nucleus 6He on 27Al target was measured at four energies close to the Coulomb barrier using the RIBRAS (Radioactive Ion Beams in Brazil) facility. The São Paulo Potential (SPP) was used and its diffuseness and imaginary strength were adjusted to fit the elastic scattering angular distributions. Reaction cross-sections were extracted from the optical model fits. The reduced reaction cross-sections of 6He on 27Al are similar to those for stable, weakly bound projectiles as 6,7Li, 9Be and larger than stable, tightly bound projectile as 16O on 27Al
The elastic scattering of 6 He on 120 Sn has been measured at four energies above the Coulomb barrier using the 6 He beam produced at the RIBRAS (Radioactive Ion Beams in Brasil) facility. The elastic angular distributions have been analyzed with the optical model and three-and four-body continuum-discretized coupled-channels calculations. The total reaction cross sections have been derived and compared with other systems of similar masses.
The collision 6 He + 120 Sn has been investigated at four energies near the Coulomb barrier. A large yield of α particles has been detected, with energies around the energy of the scattered 6 He beam. The energy and angular distributions of the α particles have been analyzed and compared with breakup and neutron transfer calculations.
We present a direct measurement of the low-energy 8 Li(p, α) 5 He cross section, using a radioactive 8 Li beam impinging on a thick target. With four beam energies, we cover the energy range between E c.m. = 0.2 and 2.1 MeV. An R-matrix analysis of the data is performed and suggests the existence of two broad overlapping resonances (5/2+ at E c.m. = 1.69 MeV and 7/2 + at E c.m. = 1.76 MeV). At low energies our data are sensitive to the properties of a subthreshold state (E x = 16.67 MeV) and of two resonances above threshold. These resonances were observed in previous experiments. The R-matrix fit confirms spin assignments, and provides partial widths. We propose a new 8 Li(p, α) 5 He reaction rate and briefly discuss its influence in nuclear astrophysics.
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.
