Proton inelastic scattering in inverse kinematics as a mean for determining decay rates in continuum: The 9Be + p case

Study of the 4He(4He,4He)4He* inelastic scattering at the MAGNEX facility

“…The experimental inelastic scattering data collected by the two coincidence measurements were compared with kinematical simulations based on the multipurpose Monte Carlo simulation algorithm MULTIP [16]. This algorithm is a powerful tool for two -, three -and four -body reactions kinematics and its validity has been tested in several works and for many reactions [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. In the present work, the inelastic scattering reaction 4 He + 4 He → 4 He + 4 He * → 4 He + 3 H + 1 H was simulated for both the resonant (0 + ) and the non -resonant breakup, while the 4 He + 4 He → 4 He + 4 He * → 4 He + 3 He + n was simulated only for the non -resonant breakup since its threshold is higher than the 0 + resonant region.…”

Low energy proton induced reactions for CANS applications

“…The rates are calculated taking into account (p,n) cross sections from the ENDF/B-VIII.0 library [24]. For the 9 Be target, the neutron production due to breakup was also included, taking into account our recent measurements [13,[19][20]. For a smaller energy step see Fig.…”

“…Recent global experimental and theoretical studies in the Continuum Discretized Coupled Channels (CDCC) approach, for p + 6,7 Li and p + 9 Be [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23], provide an important input to this direction. They also underline the role of the fundamental research in the field of applications.…”
