Gaussian expansion approach to Coulomb breakup

Nuclear Theory 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

An accurate treatment of Coulomb breakup reactions is presented by using both the Gaussian expansion method and the method of continuum discretized coupled channels. As L2L^2-type basis functions for describing bound- and continuum-states of a projectile, we take complex-range Gaussian functions, which form in good approximation a complete set in a large configuration space being important for Coulomb-breakup processes. Accuracy of the method is tested quantitatively for 8B+58^{8}{\rm B}+^{58}Ni scattering at 25.8 MeV.
