Cross sections for Coulomb and nuclear breakup of three-body halo nuclei

Abstract

All possible dissociation cross sections for the loosely bound three-body halo nuclei ${}^6$He (n+n+$\alpha$) and ${}^{11}$Li (n+n+${}^9$Li) are computed as functions of target and beam energy. Both Coulomb and nuclear interactions are included in the same theoretical framework. The measurements agree with the calculations for energies above 100 Mev/nucleon. The largest cross sections correspond to final states with zero or three particles for heavy and with two neutrons for light targets.
