Wide-angle α-t coincidence measurement in the breakup of 7Li on 27Al

We have performed wide-angle in-plane coincidence measurements of the alpha particles and tritons emitted in the 48-MeV 7Li projectile breakup reaction on 27Al. The data have been analyzed using the post-form distorted-wave Born-approximation (DWBA) theory of breakup reactions where Coulomb and nuclear breakup as well as their interference terms are included. The theory is able to provide a good description of the experimental data particularly at large relative angles between the fragments. The interference between the Coulomb and nuclear breakup modes is found to be significant

Inclusive and exclusive measurements in the projectile breakup of 7Li

The inclusive and exclusive measurements were carried out for 7Li projectile breakup on 27Al target at 48 MeV. In the inclusive data we have observed a broad peak around the beam velocity for alphas and tritons. The exclusive data for alpha-triton coincidences show good agreement with the post-form DWBA theory of breakup reactions
