New description of four-body breakup reaction

Abstract

We present a novel method of smoothing discrete breakup cross sections calculated by the method of continuum-discretized coupled-channels. The method based on the complex scaling method is tested with success for ${}^{58}$Ni($d$, $pn$) reaction at 80 MeV as an example of a three-body breakup reaction, and applied to ${}^{12}$C(${}^6$He, $n{n}^4$He) reaction at 229.8 MeV as a typical example of a four-body breakup reaction. The new method does not need to derive continuum states of the projectile in order to evaluate the breakup cross section as a smooth factor of the excitation energy of the projectile. Fast convergence of the breakup cross section with respect to extending the modelspace is confirmed. For the ${}^6$He breakup cross section, the resonant component is separated from the non-resonant one.
