A study of the reaction 10B(3He, pααα)

A complete kinematics approach to study multi-particle final state reactions

“…We first describe examples of experiments carried out in full kinematics: 10 B( 3 He,paaa), 11 B( 3 He,daaa), and 7 Li( 3 He,paa)n. These reactions have all been studied in the past when there was insufficient detector technology for a complete kinematics study [1][2][3]. We then show analysis techniques, ranging from standard procedures used to remove random coincidences, to more complex techniques which aid in removing unwanted background contribution from other channels.…”

Properties of12C resonances determined from the10B(3He,Alcorta1, Borge2, Cubero3 et al. 2012Phys. Rev. C

“…For the latter, as in the case of the resonance energy explained above, the literature value [25] is the average over several values that are not mutually consistent, and the disagreement is therefore not surprising: 500 ± 80 [27], 290 ± 70 [28], 430 ± 100 [29], 355 ± 50 [30], and 700 ± 100 [31] keV. Given the full kinematics approach resulting in much cleaner data, and the ability to clearly remove any 8 Be(0 + ) contribution, we feel the literature value for this width should be updated accordingly.…”

Breakup ofC12resonances into threeαparticles

“…A number of experimental studies of the 3α breakup exist in the literature, see, e.g., Refs. [3][4][5][6][7][8] to analyze the data. The intensity distribution was compared with the predictions of the sequential and the democratic model, see Sec.…”
