Reaction theories for exotic nuclei
J. A. Tostevin
These lectures will discuss theoretical techniques for obtaining
approximate descriptions of the scattering and reactions of exotic
projectiles over a wide range of incident energies. Particular
emphasis is given to nuclear direct reaction applications and to
techniques applicable to the spectroscopy of rare nuclei. Recent
applications will also be presented.
Lecture coverage:
Introduction to available techniques, the few-body approach,
interactions and reaction timescales, first- and higher-order
theories, time-dependent and coupled channels methods and
applications. The adiabatic approximation, background and
implementation, recoil adiabatic approximation for elastic
scattering and breakup reactions. Transfer reactions. Non-
adiabatic corrections, and applications. Eikonal and impact
parameter representations. One- and two-nucleon removal,
recent spectroscopic studies.
