Coulomb Breakup Reactions in Complex-Scaled Solutions of the Lippmann-Schwinger Equation

Abstract

We propose a new method to describe three-body breakups of nuclei, in which the Lippmann-Schwinger equation is solved combining with the complex scaling method. The complex-scaled solutions of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation (CSLS) enables us to treat boundary conditions of many-body open channels correctly and to describe a many-body breakup amplitude from the ground state. The Coulomb breakup cross section from the 6He ground state into 4He+n+n three-body decaying states as a function of the total excitation energy is calculated by using CSLS, and the result well reproduces the experimental data. Furthermore, the two-dimensional energy distribution of the E1 transition strength is obtained and an importance of the 5He(3/2-) resonance is confirmed. It is shown that CSLS is a promising method to investigate correlations of subsystems in three-body breakup reactions of the weakly-bound nuclei.
