Extracting (n,g) direct capture cross sections from Coulomb dissociation: application to C(n,)C

N. C. Summers, F. M. Nunes

A methodology for extracting neutron direct capture rates from Coulomb dissociation data is developed and applied to the Coulomb dissociation of 15C on 208Pb at 68 MeV/nucleon. Ful…

Core excitation in the elastic scattering and breakup of Be on protons

N. C. Summers, F. M. Nunes

The elastic scattering and breakup of Be from a proton target at intermediate energies is studied. We explore the role of core excitation in the reaction mechanism. Comparis…

XCDCC: Core Excitation in the Breakup of Exotic Nuclei

N. C. Summers, F. M. Nunes, I. J. Thompson

The eXtended Continuum Discretized Coupled Channel (XCDCC) method is developed to treat reactions where core degrees of freedom play a role. The projectile is treated as a multi-co…
