Features of direct and sequential Coulomb breakup of /sup 6/Li ions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Coulomb dissociation of /sup 6/Li in the field of /sup 208/Pb at different energies via resonance and continuum levels is discussed in detail. Relations are given which can be used to directly relate the Coulomb breakup cross section to the astrophysical S factor. Predictions for energy dependence and angular distributions are given. The direct Coulomb breakup of /sup 6/Li is found to be of the same order of magnitude as the sequential breakup at higher projectile energies. The effect to elastic scattering can be accounted for by introducing a dynamic polarization potential.
