The Li-8(p, alpha)He-5 reaction at low energies, and Be-9 spectroscopy around the proton threshold

We present a direct measurement of the low-energy Li-8(p, alpha)He-5 cross section, using a radioactive Li-8 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 Li-8(p, alpha)He-5 reaction rate and briefly discuss its influence in nuclear astrophysics.

Measurements of the 6He+p ressonant scattering and the 3He(7Be,)6Be reaction

A espectroscopia de núcleos leves como ANTPOT. 6,7 Li e outros no contínuo é ainda um campo relativamente pouco explorado, e a possibilidade de se produzir esses núcleos a partir de canais de entrada envolvendo núcleos exóticos é relativamente recente. Em particular, o estudo do ANTPOT. 7 Li em energias de excitação em torno do limiar ANTPOT. 6 He+p é interessante pois corresponde a uma região próxima ao estado fundamental do exótico análogo isobárico ANTPO. 7 He. Neste trabalho, apresentamos resultados de um estudo do espalhamento ressonante ANTPOT. 6 He+p utilizando feixe de ANTPOT. 6 He. As medidas da função de excitação ANTPOT. 6 He+p foram realizadas no sistema RIBRAS (\"Radioactive Ion Beams in Brasil\") do Instituto de Física da Universidade de São Paulo. O feixe secundário foi produzido mediante a reação primária ANTPOT. 9 Be(ANTPOT. 7 Li, ANTPOT. 6 He). Fez-se pela primeira vez, uso do conjunto de dois solenóides do sistema RIBRAS para purificar o feixe secundário de ANTPOT. 6 He, que incide em um alvo sólido de CH IND. 2, grosso o bastante para parar o feixe incidente de ANTPOT. 6 He. Assim, somente as partículas leves de recuo foram detectados, as quais levam a informação do sistema composto ANTPOT. 7 Li. Dessa forma foram analisados os espectros obtidos das reações p(ANTPOT. 6 He,p) e p(ANTPOT. 6 He,). Além disso realizamos um estudo da reação ANTPOT. 3 He(ANTPOT. 7 Be, )ANTPOT. 6 Be. A experiência foi realizada no CRIB-RIKEN fazendo uso de um feixe puro de ANTPOT. 7 Be e um alvo gasoso de ANTPOT. 3 He. O feixe de ANTPOT. 7 Be tem uma energia de laboratório de E IND. lab= 53.4 MeV e foi produzido pela reação primária de ANTPOT. 7 Li(p, n)ANTPOT. 7 Be usando um alvo criogênico H IND. 2. Existem na literatura estados excitados identificados nos núcleos ANTPOT. 6 Li e ANTPOT. 6 He, mas apenas poucos estados no ANTPOT 6 Be. Além do interesse na estrutura nuclear, a importância destes estados no ANTPOT. 6 Be próximos ao limiar de ANTPOT. 3 He ANTPOT. 3 He a 11.48MeV está principalmente na astrofísica. A possível existência de ressonâncias perto deste limiar poderia trazer fortes implicações na queima próton-próton em estrelas.The spectroscopy in the continuum of light nuclei such as 6,7 Li and others still remains a relatively unexplored field, and the ability to produce these nuclei from entrance channels involving exotic nuclei is relatively recent. In particular, the study of 7Li at excitation energies around the 6He+p threshold is interesting since it corresponds to a region near to the ground state of the exotic analog isobaric 7He. In this work we present the results of the study of the resonant scattering p+6He. The measurements of the excitation function of the system p+6He have been performed in the RIBRAS system (\"Radioactive Ion Beams in Brasil\") of the Institute of Physics of the University of São Paulo. The secondary beam has been produced by the primary reaction 9Be(7Li,6 He). For the first time, the two solenoids of the RIBRAS system have been used to purify the secondary 6He beam, which collides into a solid CH2, thick enough to stop the incident 6He beam. Only the light recoil particles have been detected, which provide information of the compound system 7Li. We analyzed the spectrum obtained from the p(6He,p) and p(6He,) reactions. In addition, we performed a study of the 3He(7Be, )6Be reaction. The experiment has been performed at the CRIB-RIKEN laboratory (Japan), using a pure 7Be beam and a 3He gas target. The 7Be beam had an energy of Elab = 53.4MeV and has been produced by the 7Li(p, n)7Be primary reaction, using a H2 cryogenic target. There are in the literature, excited states identified in the nuclei 6Li and 6He but only a few states in 6Be. Besides the interest in nuclear structure, the importance of these states at 6Be near the threshold of 3He3He at 11.48MeV lies mainly in astrophysics. The possible existence of resonances near this threshold could bring strong implications for proton-proton burning in stars

Elastic scattering measurements for [sup 7]Be+[sup 27]Al system at RIBRAS facility

Elastic scattering angular distribution measurements of 7Be_27Al system were performed at the laboratory energy of 15.6MeV. The 7Be secondary beam was produced by the proton transfer reaction 3He (6Li, 7Be) and impinged on 27Al and 197Au targets, using the Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB) facility, RIBRAS. The elastic angular distribution was obtained within the angular range of 15° - 80° at the center of mass frame. Optical model calculations have been performed using the Woods- Saxon form factors and the São Paulo potential to fit the experimental data. The total reaction cross section was derived.CNPqFAPER

Elastic scattering and total reaction cross sections for the (8)Li+(12)C system

The elastic-scattering angular distribution for (8)Li on (12)C has been measured at E(LAB) = 23.9 MeV with (8)Li radioactive nuclear beam produced by the Radioactive Ion Beams in Brazil facility. This angular distribution was analyzed in terms of optical-model with Woods-Saxon and double-folding Sao Paulo potential. The roles of the breakup and inelastic channels were also investigated with cluster folding and deformed potentials, respectively, through coupled-channels calculations. The angular distribution for the proton-transfer (12)C((8)Li, (9)Be)(11)B reaction was also measured at the same energy. The spectroscopic factor for the <(9)Be|(8)Li + p > bound system was obtained and compared with shell-model calculations and with other experimental values. Total reaction cross sections for the present system were also extracted from the elastic-scattering analysis. A systematic of the reduced reaction cross sections obtained from the present and published data on (6,7,8)Li isotopes on (12)C was performed as a function of energy.Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP)[2003/10099-2]Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ)Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento (CNPq)Projeto de acao complementaria internacional Sevilla-Sao Paulo[PCI2006-A7-0654](CAPES) Coordenacao de Aperfeicoamento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior ( APES

Experimental study of (6)He + (9)Be elastic scattering at low energies

New data for the (6)He + (9)Be reaction at E(1ab) = 16.2 and 21.3 MeV have been taken and analyzed. The effect of the collective couplings to the excited states of the target has been studied by means of coupled-channels calculations, using a double-folding potential for the bare interaction between the colliding nuclei, supplemented with a phenomenological imaginary part of Woods-Saxon type. In addition, three- and four-body continuum-discretized coupled-channels calculations have been performed to investigate the effect of the projectile breakup on the elastic scattering. Both effects, the coupling to target and projectile excited states, are found to affect significantly the elastic scattering. The trivial local polarization potential extracted from the continuum-discretized coupled-channels calculations indicates that continuum couplings produce a repulsive real part and a long-range imaginary part in the projectile-target interaction.Junta de AndaluciaFAPESPBanco SantanderSpanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion[FPA2009-07653]Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion[PCI2006-A7-0654]Spanish Consolider-Ingenio[CSD2007-00042

(7,9,10)Be elastic scattering and total reaction cross sections on a (12)C target

Elastic scattering angular distributions for (7)Be, (9)Be, and (10)Be isotopes on (12)C target were measured at laboratory energies of 18.8, 26.0, and 23.2 MeV, respectively. The analysis was performed in terms of optical model potentials using Woods-Saxon and double-folding form factors. Also, continuum discretized coupled-channels calculations were performed for (7)Be and (9)Be + (12)C systems to infer the role of breakup in the elastic scattering. For the (10)Be + (12)C system, bound states coupled-channels calculations were considered. Moreover, total reaction cross sections were deduced from the elastic scattering analysis and compared with published data on other weakly and tightly bound projectiles elastically scattered on the (12)C target, as a function of energy.Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento (CNPq)Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP

Total reaction cross-sections for light weakly bound systems

We have measured the elastic scattering cross-section for (8)Li + (9)Be and (8)Li + (51)V systems at 19.6 MeV and 18.5 MeV, respectively. We have also extracted total reaction cross sections from the elastic scattering analysis for several light weakly bound systems using the optical model with Woods-Saxon and double-folding-type potentials. Different reduction methods for the total reaction cross-sections have been applied to analyze and compare simultaneously all the systems.CNPqConselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)FAPESPFAPERJFundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ)DAE-BRNS (Mumbai)Department of Atomic Energy of India (DAE)IUAC-UGC (New Delhi)IUAC-UGC (New Delhi)The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) for the advancement of science in developing countriesTWAS-ICTP, ItalyConselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)CNPq, BrazilUGCUGCPhysics Department, MSUPhysics Department, MSUIndia Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)CSIR, New Delh
