Systematic description of 6Li(n, n')6Li* $\to$ d + $\alpha$ reactions with the microscopic coupled-channels method

Abstract

We investigate ${}^6$Li($n$, $n^{\prime }$)${}^6$Li${}^{\ast }$ $\to$ $d$ + $\alpha$ reactions by using the continuum-discretized coupled-channels method with the complex Jeukenne-Lejeune-Mahaux effective nucleon-nucleon interaction. In this study, the ${}^6$Li nucleus is described as a $d$ + $\alpha$ cluster model. The calculated elastic cross sections for incident energies between 7.47 and 24.0 MeV are good agreement with experimental data. Furthermore, we show the neutron spectra to ${}^6$Li breakup states measured at selected angular points and incident energies can be also reproduced systematically.
