Three-body halos. V. Computations of continuum spectra for Borromean nuclei
We solve the coordinate space Faddeev equations in the continuum. We employ
hyperspherical coordinates and provide analytical expressions allowing easy
computation of the effective potentials at distances much larger than the
ranges of the interactions where only s-waves in the different Jacobi
coordinates couple. Realistic computations are carried out for the Borromean
halo nuclei 6He (n+n+\alpha) for J\pi = 0+-, 1+-, 2+- and 11Li (n+n+9Li) for
(1/2)+-, (3/2)+-, (5/2)+-. Ground state properties, strength functions, Coulomb
dissociation cross sections, phase shifts, complex S-matrix poles are computed
and compared to available experimental data. We find enhancements of the
strength functions at low energies and a number of low-lying S-matrix poles.Comment: 35 pages, 14 figure
