Title: Few-body multiple scattering calculations for {sup 6}He on protons

Abstract

The elastic scattering of the halo nucleus {sup 6}He from a proton target at 717 MeV/nucleon is investigated within three different multiple-scattering formulations of the total transition amplitude. The factorized impulse approximation (FIA) and the fixed scatterer approximation (FSA) of the multiple-scattering expansion are used to evaluate accurately the single-scattering terms and to test the validity of a few-body Glauber approach. The latter also includes terms beyond single scattering and the importance of these terms is investigated. The differential cross section is calculated for proton scattering from {sup 6}He at 717 MeV in inverse kinematics and compared with recent data.

    We extend the ab initio no-core shell model/resonating-group method (NCSM/RGM) to projectile-target binary-cluster states where the projectile is a deuteron. We discuss the formalism in detail and give algebraic expressions for the integration kernels. Using a soft similarity-renormalization-group evolved chiral nucleon-nucleon potential, we calculate deuteron-{sup 4}He scattering and investigate {sup 6}Li bound and unbound states. Virtual three-body breakup effects are obtained in an approximated way by including excited pseudostates of the deuteron in the calculation. We compare our results to experiment and to a standard NCSM calculation for {sup 6}Li.

    Data for scattering of {sup 6}He from {sup 197}Au, {sup 208}Pb, and {sup 209}Bi targets at low energies were consistently analyzed by use of the continuum-discretized coupled-channels method and the dineutron model of the projectile. A very good description of the experimental data was obtained with the strength of the dipole couplings reduced by 50%. We find that the dipole couplings are responsible for the suppression of the Coulomb rainbow and that the quadrupole couplings must be included in the calculations in order to obtain good agreement with the elastic-scattering data at more backward angles.

    In this work we obtain the astrophysical reaction and production rates for the two-particle radiative capture processes alpha+n+n-> {sup 6}He+gamma and alpha+alpha+n-> {sup 9}Be+gamma. The hyperspherical adiabatic expansion method is used. The four-body recombination reactions alpha+alpha+n+n-> {sup 6}He+alpha, alpha+n+n+n-> {sup 6}He+n, alpha+alpha+n+n-> {sup 9}Be+n and alpha+alpha+alpha+n-> {sup 9}Be+alpha are also investigated.

    Experimental and theoretical cross sections are presented for the /sup 6/Li(/sup 3/He,/sup 3/He/sup 3/He)/sup 3/H and /sup 6/Li(/sup 3/He,t/sup 3/He)/sup 3/He reactions for the symmetric angle pairs 20/sup 0/-20/sup 0/, 28.3/sup 0/-28.3/sup 0/, and 35/sup 0/-35/sup 0/. The theoretical cross sections are calculated in a three-body model where the trions (i.e., mass-3 nuclei) are treated as elementary particles with /sup 6/Li being a /sup 3/He-/sup 3/H bound state. The trion-trion interaction is represented by S wave separable potentials with the breakup cross sections calculated with the tree-body Haftel-Ebenhoeh code. the Coulomb interaction is taken into account by fitting the separablemore » potential parameters to the trion-trion scattering data and is included approximately in the breakup code. The experimental cross sections are compared with both the plane-wave impulse approximation and the three-body model predictions. The plane-wave impulse approximation predicts both the shapes and magnitudes poorly (10 to 20 times experiment). Without Coulomb corrections the three-body model gives good agreement with experiment for the shapes of the spectra with the magnitudes generally being about 40% of experiment for /sup 6/Li(/sup 3/He,/sup 3/He/sup 3/He)/sup 3/H and about 80% for /sup 6/Li(/sup 3/He,t /sup 3/He)/sup 3/He. The Coulomb corrections improve the magnitudes predicted by the three-body model but not the shapes. It is observed that for these reactions S wave separable potentials describe the breakup data much better than they do the two-body trion-trion scattering data. This result should encourage further three-body treatment of these and similar reactions.« less
