Abstract

I investigate the difficulties in obtaining the electromagnetic response of light, halo-like, nuclei using reactions at radioactive beam facilities. A relativistic coupled-channels theory for the calculation of dissociation cross sections of halo nuclei is compared to first-order perturbation theory. A comparison with semiclassical models frequently used in experimental analysis is also performed. It is shown that the effects of relativity and of the nuclear interaction lead to sizable effects in the extraction of the electromagnetic response of 6He projectiles.
