Analysis of deuteron breakup reactions for energies up to 100 MeV

Abstract

Inclusive nucleon spectra from deuteron breakup reactions on 7Li and 12C up to 100 MeV are analyzed by using the continuum discretized coupled channels theory for elastic breakup process and the Glauber model for nucleon stripping process. The preequilibrium and evaporation components are estimated phenomenologically in terms of the moving source model. The calculation reproduces a prominent bump observed around half the incident energy in experimental inclusive spectra at forward angles quite well. The present analysis clarifies that the stripping process is more dominant than the elastic breakup process in deuteron breakup reactions on 7Li and 12C.
