Role of Coulomb Breakup Cross-Sections at Sub-Barrier Energies with 11Be Projectile on Heavy Targets

Explore the role of Coulomb breakup cross-sections at sub-barrier energies using 11Be projectiles on heavy targets in this 35-minute conference talk from the Workshop on Multineutron Clusters in Nuclei and in Stars. Examine the theoretical framework and experimental considerations for understanding how weakly bound nuclei like 11Be interact with heavy target nuclei at energies below the Coulomb barrier. Learn about the quantum mechanical processes involved in nuclear breakup reactions, the calculation methods for cross-sections, and the implications for nuclear structure studies. Discover how these breakup mechanisms contribute to our understanding of exotic nuclei behavior and their applications in nuclear astrophysics, particularly in the context of multineutron cluster formation and stellar nucleosynthesis processes.
