Reaction Mechanisms with Exotic Nuclei

Reaction Mechanisms with Exotic Nuclei ∗

This talk examines a number of reaction mechanisms for scattering initiated by an exotic projectile. Comparisons are made with recent experimental data, in order to extract information on the peculiarity of the nuclear structure under extreme conditions and to test the accuracy of the available theoretical methods. Predictions for future experiments are also made.

Reaction Dynamics with Exotic Nuclei

We review the new possibilities offered by the reaction dynamics of asymmetric heavy ion collisions, using stable and unstable beams. We show that it represents a rather unique tool to probe regions of highly Asymmetric Nuclear Matter (ANM) in compressed as well as dilute phases, and to test the in-medium isovector interaction for high momentum nucleons. The focus is on a detailed study of the ...

Reaction models to probe the structure of light exotic nuclei

We review here theoretical models for describing various types of reactions involving light nuclei on the driplines. Structure features to be extracted from the analysis of such reaction data, as well as those that need to be incorporated in the reaction models for an adequate description of the processes, are also under focus. The major unsolved theoretical issues are discussed, along with som...

Progress on reactions with exotic nuclei

Modelling breakup reactions with exotic nuclei represents a challenge in several ways. The CDCC method (continuum discretized coupled channel) has been very successful in its various applications. Here, we briefly mention a few developments that have contributed to the progress in this field as well as some pertinent problems that remain to be answered.
