Coulomb breakup of into in the field of ion
The triple differential cross section of
elastic Coulomb breakup
is calculated using the semiclassical method. We fit the parameters of the
Woods-Saxon potential using the experimental phase shifts for
different states to describe the relative motion of -particle and
deuteron. In order to check the validity of the two particle approach for
system we apply a potential model to describe the
radiative capture. Our results for the
Coulomb breakup of show large value of the forward-backward
asymmetry of the -particle and deuteron emission around zero energy in
the center-of-mass (c.m.) system. Comparison of the results of our
calculation with experimental data gives evidence for the dominance of the
Coulomb dissociation mechanism at the relative energy larger than
and sufficiently big contribution of nuclear
distortion at near zero energy, but essentially smaller than
the value reported in Ref.[F. Hammache et al. Phys.Rev. C82, 065802 (2010)].Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures (one figure removed), added the results of new

Coulomb renormalization and ratio of proton and neutron asymptotic normalization coefficients for mirror nuclei
Asymptotic normalization coefficients (ANCs) are fundamental nuclear
constants playing important role in nuclear reactions, nuclear structure and
nuclear astrophysics. In this paper the physical reasons of the Coulomb
renormalization of the ANC are addressed. Using Pinkston-Satchler equation the
ratio for the proton and neutron ANCs of mirror nuclei is obtained in terms of
the Wronskians from the radial overlap functions and regular solutions of the
two-body Schr\"odinger equation with the short-range interaction excluded. This
ratio allows one to use microscopic overlap functions for mirror nuclei in the
internal region, where they are the most accurate, to correctly predict the
ratio of the ANCs for mirror nuclei, which determine the amplitudes of the
tails of the overlap functions. Calculations presented for different nuclei
demonstrate the Coulomb renormalization effects and independence of the ratio
of the nucleon ANCs for mirror nuclei on the channel radius. This ratio is
valid both for bound states and resonances. One of the goals of this paper is
to draw attention on the possibility to use the Coulomb renormalized ANCs
rather than the standard ones especially when the standard ANCs are too large.Comment: 20 pages, 14 figure
Asymptotic Normalization Coefficients for 13C+p->14N
The proton exchange reaction has been measured
at an incident energy of 162 MeV. Angular distributions were obtained for
proton transfer to the ground and low lying excited states in . Elastic
scattering of on also was measured out to the rainbow angle
region in order to find reliable optical model potentials. Asymptotic
normalization coefficients for the system have been
found for the ground state and the excited states at 2.313, 3.948, 5.106 and
5.834 MeV in . These asymptotic normalization coefficients will be used
in a determination of the S-factor for at solar
energies from a measurement of the proton transfer reaction
.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure
Are spectroscopic factors from transfer reactions consistent with asymptotic normalisation coefficients?
It is extremely important to devise a reliable method to extract
spectroscopic factors from transfer cross sections. We analyse the standard
DWBA procedure and combine it with the asymptotic normalisation coefficient,
extracted from an independent data set. We find that the single particle
parameters used in the past generate inconsistent asymptotic normalization
coefficients. In order to obtain a consistent spectroscopic factor,
non-standard parameters for the single particle overlap functions can be used
but, as a consequence, often reduced spectroscopic strengths emerge. Different
choices of optical potentials and higher order effects in the reaction model
are also studied. Our test cases consist of: C(d,p)C(g.s.) at
MeV, O(d,p)O(g.s.) at MeV and
Ca(d,p)Ca(g.s.) at MeV. We underline the
importance of performing experiments specifically designed to extract ANCs for
these systems.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figures, Phys. Rev. C (in press
Asymptotic normalization coefficients (nuclear vertex constants) for and the direct astrophysical S-factors at solar energies
A new analysis of the precise experimental astrophysical S-factors for the
direct capture reaction [A.J.Junghans et al.Phys.Rev. C
68 (2003) 065803 and L.T. Baby et al. Phys.Rev. C 67 (2003) 065805] is carried
out based on the modified two - body potential approach in which the direct
astrophysical S-factor, , is expressed in terms of the
asymptotic normalization constants for and two additional
conditions are involved to verify the peripheral character of the reaction
under consideration. The Woods-Saxon potential form is used for the bound
()- state wave function and for the - scattering wave function.
New estimates are obtained for the ^{\glqq}indirectly measured\grqq values of
the asymptotic normalization constants (the nuclear vertex constants) for the
and at E 115 keV, including =0. These
values of and asymptotic normalization constants have been used for
getting information about the ^{\glqq}indirectly measured\grqq values of the
wave average scattering length and the wave effective range parameters
for - scattering.Comment: 27 pages, 6 figure
Tests of Transfer Reaction Determinations of Astrophysical S-Factors
The reaction has been used to determine
asymptotic normalization coefficients for transitions to the ground and first
excited states of . The coefficients provide the normalization for
the tails of the overlap functions for and allow us
to calculate the S-factors for at astrophysical
energies. The calculated S-factors are compared to measurements and found to be
in very good agreement. This provides the first test of this indirect method to
determine astrophysical direct capture rates using transfer reactions. In
addition, our results yield S(0) for capture to the ground and first excited
states in , without the uncertainty associated with extrapolation from
higher energies.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure
Asymptotic normalization coefficients for 8B->7Be+p from a study of 8Li->7Li+n
Asymptotic normalization coefficients (ANCs) for 8Li->7Li+n have been
extracted from the neutron transfer reaction 13C(7Li,8Li)12C at 63 MeV. These
are related to the ANCs in 8B->7Be+p using charge symmetry. We extract ANCs for
8B that are in very good agreement with those inferred from proton transfer and
breakup experiments. We have also separated the contributions from the p_1/2
and p_3/2 components in the transfer. We find the astrophysical factor for the
7Be(p,gamma)8B reaction to be S_17(0)=17.6+/-1.7 eVb. This is the first time
that the rate of a direct capture reaction of astrophysical interest has been
determined through a measurement of the ANCs in the mirror system.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, 2 table
How unique is the Asymptotic Normalisation Coefficient (ANC) method?
The asymptotic normalisation coefficients (ANC) for the vertex B
Be + p is deduced from a set of different proton transfer reactions at
different energies. This set should ensure the peripheral character of the
reaction and availability of data for the elastic channels. The problems
associated with the characteristics of the data and the analysis are discussed.
For a subgroup of the set of available data, the uniqueness property of the
extracted ANC is fulfilled. However, more measurements are needed before a
definite conclusion can be drawn.Comment: 19 pages, 11 figures, to be published in Phys Rev
An Alternative Parameterization of R-matrix Theory
An alternative parameterization of R-matrix theory is presented which is
mathematically equivalent to the standard approach, but possesses features
which simplify the fitting of experimental data. In particular there are no
level shifts and no boundary-condition constants which allows the positions and
partial widths of an arbitrary number levels to be easily fixed in an analysis.
These alternative parameters can be converted to standard R-matrix parameters
by a straightforward matrix diagonalization procedure. In addition it is
possible to express the collision matrix directly in terms of the alternative
parameters.Comment: 8 pages; accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. C; expanded Sec. IV,

Scattering theory with the Coulomb potential
Basic features of a new surface-integral formulation of scattering theory are outlined. This formulation is valid for both short-range and Coulombic long-range interactions. New general definitions for the potential scattering amplitude are given. For the Coulombic potentials the generalized amplitude gives the physical on-shell amplitude without recourse to a renormalization procedure. New post and prior forms for the amplitudes of breakup, direct and rearrangement scattering in a Coulomb three-body system are presented
