A classical dynamical model that treats break-up stochastically is presented for low energy reactions of weakly-bound nuclei. The three-dimensional model allows a consistent calculation of breakup, incomplete and complete fusion cross…
The light weakly-bound nucleus $^7$Li is studied within a dicluster $\alpha+t$ picture. Different observables obtained within our simple model are compared with previous calculations and experiments showing good agreement. In particular we…
Neutron-rich light nuclei and their reactions play an important role for the creation of chemical elements. Here, data from a Coulomb dissociation experiment on $^{20,21}$N are reported. Relativistic $^{20,21}$N ions impinged on a lead…
Coulomb dissociation is an especially simple and important reaction mechanism. Since the perturbation due to the electric field of the (target) nucleus is exactly known, firm conclusions can be drawn from such measurements. Electromagnetic…
We investigate three models for the charge symmetry breaking (CSB) of the nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) interaction (based upon $\rho$-$\omega$ mixing, nucleon mass splitting, and phenomenology) that all reproduce the empirical value for the CSB…

Break-up and recombination processes for loosely-bound molecules composed of atoms with a large scattering length $a$ necessarily involve interactions that are nonperturbative in the exact 2-body interaction. If these processes involve…

A theoretical model able to describe fragmentation reactions of three--body halo nuclei on different targets, from light to heavy, is used to compute neutron and core momentum distributions. Both Coulomb and nuclear interactions are…

We investigate the breakup of the one-neutron halo nuclei 11Be and 19C within a dynamical model of the continuum excitation of the projectile. The time evolution of the projectile in coordinate space is described by solving the…
We calculate the Coulomb dissociation of 9Li on Pb and U targets at 28.5 MeV/A beam energy within a finite range distorted wave Born approximation formalism of the breakup reactions. Invoking the principle of detailed balance, these cross…

Given the Astrophysical interest of $^7$Be$(p,\gamma)^8$B, there have been several experiments applying the Coulomb dissociation method for extracting the capture rate. Measurements at Michigan State are dominated by $E1$ contributions but…
The nonelastic breakup (NEB), one of channels in $(d,p)$ inclusive reactions, is studied using the Faddeev-type scattering theory. The NEB differential cross section is obtained in terms of the imaginary part of the neutron-nucleus optical…
