Are breakup reactions sensitive to spectroscopic factors? (Spoiler alert: they ain't)
Live-Palm Kubushishi, Pierre Capel
Halo nuclei are mostly studied through reactions. In breakup reactions, the projectile is sent upon a target, which induces the dissociation of the loosely-bound halo from the core…
Halo-EFT: an effective and efficient tool to study reactions with halo nuclei
Quentin Bozet, Live-Palm Kubushishi, Pierre Capel
Halo nuclei are exotic nuclei, which exhibit a much larger matter radius than their isobars. This unusual size is now understood as a threshold effect, in which one or two valence…
A short-range effective theory for single-neutron halo nuclei with a deformed core
Live-Palm Kubushishi, Daniel R. Phillips
We establish a short-range effective theory for deformed s-wave halos. The theory applies to a system in which neutrons are weakly bound to a core nucleus, and that core nucleus al…
Insensitivity of the Coulomb breakup of halo nuclei to spectroscopic factors
Live-Palm Kubushishi, Pierre Capel
Exotic nuclear structures such as halos are mostly studied using reactions. In Coulomb breakup, the radioactive projectile dissociates through its interaction with a heavy target.…
Exploring core excitation in halo nuclei using halo effective field theory: an application to the bound states of Be
Live-Palm Kubushishi, Pierre Capel
Halo effective field theory (Halo-EFT) has proved to be very efficient for describing halo nuclei within models of nuclear reactions. Its order-by-order expansion scheme enables us…
Study of the Coulomb and nuclear breakup of Be using a Halo-EFT description at NLO
L. -P. Kubushishi, P. Capel
Background: The halo effective field theory (Halo-EFT) provides a very efficient description of loosely-bound nuclei in models of reaction. It offers a very systematical ranking of…
Effective field theory analysis of the Coulomb breakup of the one-neutron halo nucleus 19C
Pierre Capel, Daniel R. Phillips, Andrew Andis +29
We analyse the Coulomb breakup of 19C measured at 67A MeV at RIKEN. We use the Coulomb-Corrected Eikonal (CCE) approximation to model the reaction and describe the one-neutron halo…
