${}^9$Be elastic scattering on ${}^{208}$Pb and ${}^{27}$Al within a four-body reaction framework

Abstract

We investigate the low-energy ${}^9$Be elastic scattering on two different targets (heavy, light) within a four-body framework using the Continuum-Discretized Coupled-Channels (CDCC) method. The ${}^9$Be projectile is described in a $\alpha +\alpha +n$ three-body model using the analytical transformed harmonic oscillator (THO) basis in hyperspherical coordinates. We show that continuum couplings are important to describe the elastic cross section, especially at low energies and on heavy targets. The dipolar contribution to the elastic cross section at energies around the Coulomb barrier is important but small compared to the case of halo nuclei. The effect of the projectile low-energy resonances is also relevant. The agreement with the available experimental data supports the reliability of the method to describe reactions induced by three-body projectiles including more than one charged particle.
