Extracting (n,g) direct capture cross sections from Coulomb dissociation: application to ${}^{14}$C(n,$\gamma$)${}^{15}$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…
