Scattering of the Halo Nucleus 11Be on 197Au at Energies around the Coulomb Barrier: The case of 11Be on 197Au

Abstract

V. Pesudo et al. -- 6 pags., 10 figs., 1 tab. -- Open Access funded by Creative Commons Atribution Licence 4.0 ; This work reports on the scattering of 11Be on 197Au at energies around and below the Coulomb barrier. By experimentally identifying the elastic scattering, inelastic scattering and breakup channels, and comparing them with different calculations, valuable information on the 11Be structure and its B(E1) distribution to the continuum are obtained. On top of that, a deeper understanding of the scattering process at low energies is achieved for reactions of this kind, making these studies extendable to other loosely-bound systems like 17,19C. ; This work was supported by the Spanish Government under the projects FPA2015-64969-P, FIS2014-53448-C2-1-P, FPA2013-47327-c02-01-R, FPA2012-32443, FIS2013-41994-P and Consolider CPAN CSD2007-00042; the EUROCORES project EUI-2009-04162; the European Unions Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 654002; the Helmholtz Association (HGT) through the Nuclear Astrophysics Virtual Institute (VH-VI-417); ATI Sistemas; The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada; The Canada Foundation for Innovation; and the British Columbia Knowledge Development Fund.
