New mechanism for the production of the extremely fast light particles in heavy-ion collisions in the Fermi energy domain

Employing a four-body classical model, various mechanisms responsible for the production of fast light particles in heavy ion collisions at low and intermediate energies have been studied. It has been shown that at energies lower than 50 A MeV, light particles of velocities of more than two times higher than the projectile velocities are produced due to the acceleration of the target light-particles by the mean field of the incident nucleus. It has also been shown that precision experimental reaction research in normal and inverse kinematics is likely to provide vital information about which mechanism is dominant in the production of fast light particles.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, LaTeX, to be published in Proceedings of VII International School-Seminar on Heavy Ion Physics, May 27 - June 1, 2002, Dubna, Russi

Generalized optical potential for weakly bound nuclei. I. Two-cluster projectiles

A generalized optical potential for elastic scattering induced by light nuclei is calculated within the Feshbach projection operator method. The model explicitly takes into account the contribution of the projectile break-up continuum treated within a microscopic few-cluster model. In this work we formulate the model, deriving an explicit expression for the optical potential, and show ability of the model applying it to deuteron elastic scattering.Comment: 35 pages, 11 figure

Multidimensional Langevin Approach to Description of Near-Barrier Heavy-Ion Fusion and Deep-Inelastic Collisions

Abstract-A six-dimensional Langevin approach is developed for the analysis of near-barrier heavyion fusion and deep-inelastic collisions. In its framework, vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom of both nuclei are taken into account explicitly. Calculated fusion cross sections, compound nuclei spin distributions, and angular and energy distributions of deep-inelastic products show satisfactory agreement with experimental data. c 2003 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica"

Study of internal structures of 9,10Be and 10B in scattering of 4He from 9Be

A study of inelastic scattering and single-particle transfer reactions was performed by an alpha beam at 63 MeV on a 9$Be target. Angular distributions of the differential cross sections for the 9Be(4He,4He')9Be*, 9Be(4He,3He)10Be and 9Be(4He,t)10B reactions were measured. Experimental angular distributions of the differential cross sections for the ground state and a few low-lying states were analyzed in the framework of the optical model, coupled channels and distorted-wave Born approximation. An analysis of the obtained spectroscopic factors was performed.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures, 3 tables, regular paper, mispritns are corrected in new versio

Comparative Analysis of the Mechanisms of Fast Light Particle Formation in Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions at Low and Intermediate Energies

The dynamics and the mechanisms of preequilibrium-light-particle formation in nucleus-nucleus collisions at low and intermediate energies are studied on the basis of a classical four-body model. The angular and energy distributions of light particles from such processes are calculated. It is found that, at energies below 50 MeV per nucleon, the hardest section of the energy spectrum is formed owing to the acceleration of light particles from the target by the mean field of the projectile nucleus. Good agreement with available experimental data is obtained.Comment: 23 pages, 10 figures, LaTeX, published in Physics of Atomic Nuclei v.65, No. 8, 2002, pp. 1459 - 1473 translated from Yadernaya Fizika v. 65, No. 8, 2002, pp. 1494 - 150

Few-body effects in elastic scattering of light exotic nuclei

Elastic scattering of light weakly bound nuclei is studied within the Feshbach generalized optical model. The model explicitly takes into account the contribution of the projectile break-up continuum treated within a microscopic few-cluster model. The model is tested on deuteron and 6Li elastic scattering by different targets at intermediate energies. The generalized optical potentials are then calculated for 6He (230 MeV) + 12C reaction treating the projectile nucleus either within two-body (α + 2n) or three-body (α + n + n) approximations. The obtained differences are analyzed. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.SCOPUS: cp.pinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Role of neutron rearrangement channels in sub-barrier fusion

Different factors influencing the sub-barrier fusion enhancement owing to neutron rearrangement with positive Q values are studied. It was found that opposite to the previous opinion the presence of positive Q values is necessary but not sufficient to observe enhancement of the sub-barrier fusion. “Rigidity” of colliding nuclei with respect to collective excitations plays a crucial role for the sub-barrier fusion enhancement due to neutron rearrangement. Neutron binding energy has a strong impact but only in the case of fusion of light nuclei
