Review of semi-classical calculations for breakup
- Physique Quantique, C.P. 165/82, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, B 1050 Brussels (Belgium)
In semi-classical approximations, the relative motion between target and projectile is represented by a classical trajectory but the projectile internal motion is treated quantum mechanically. A time-dependent Schroedinger equation describes the breakup of exotic nuclei induced by the Coulomb and nuclear forces. Different accurate techniques of resolution of this time-dependent equation are reviewed for one space dimension. The respective merits of their extensions to three dimensions are compared. Applications to the breakup of the 11Be, 15C, and 19C halo nuclei are presented and discussed. The first-order perturbation theory is compared with the time-dependent method and its relevance for the Coulomb breakup determination of the astrophysical S factor is analyzed.
