Peculiarities of interaction of weakly bound lithium nuclei (A = 6–11) at low energies: Elastic scattering and total reaction cross sections

Microscopic optical potentials for Li isotopes

“…β=mω/ℏ is the harmonic oscillator constant and its value is determined by the matter root mean square radius r m rms [1]. The parameters are listed in Table 1 and the density distributions are plotted in Fig.…”

“…Nuclear reactions involving Li isotopes have been a subject of great interest for decades, not only because of their application in isotopes production and nuclear astrophysics, but also for the reaction mechanism as they are all well-known weakly bound nuclei [1]. However, the scattering experimental data for them is not abundant.…”

Neutron transfer and nuclear breakup in 208Pb(11Li, 9Li) reaction

“…The latest experimental data on elastic scattering of light weakly bound lithium nuclei 8,9,11 Li indicates enhancement of the total cross section for reactions with these nuclei as compared to reactions with 6,7 Li [1][2][3][4][5][6]. This effect is especially strongly manifested for light nuclei with a neutron halo [7].…”

Analysis of (11Li+9Be)-reaction in the framework of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation

“…The article studies processes of neutron transfer and nucleus breakup in reaction ( 11 Li , 9 Li ) at 9 Be -target. Recently, in the review [1], we presented the latest experimental data on the total reaction cross sections and angular distributions of differential cross sections for elastic scattering of light weakly bound lithium nuclei ( [6][7][8][9]11 Li ). Specific features of experimental excitation functions of the total reaction cross sections and dominant interaction mechanisms at near-barrier energies was discussed.…”

“…Specific features of experimental excitation functions of the total reaction cross sections and dominant interaction mechanisms at near-barrier energies was discussed. In [1], we also discussed the theoretical methods for describing the trend in behavior of the reaction cross section excitation functions. Study of the mechanisms of interaction of weakly bound light exotic nuclei arouse great interest.…”
