Numerical assessment of post-prior equivalence for inclusive breakup reactions

Nuclear Theory 2016-01-20 v1

Abstract

We address the problem of the post-prior equivalence in inclusive breakup reactions induced by weakly-bound nuclei. The problem is studied within the DWBA model of Ichimura, Austern, Vincent [Phys. Rev. C32, 431 (1985)]. The post and prior formulas obtained in this model are briefly recalled, and applied to several breakup reactions induced by deuterons and 6^6Li projectiles, to test their actual numerical equivalence. The different contributions of the prior-form formula are also discussed. A critical comparison with the prior-form distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) model of Udagawa and Tamura [Phys. Rev. C24, 1348 (1981)] is also provided.
